Regulator servicing

[ghcpa9]

How many of you guys/gals service your own regulators as opposed to going to a dive shop?

I have done minor things with the reg but not the 1st stage... I know that you can get the training that would allow you to do all the reg work but it isn't that expensive to get it serviced so hey, I just take it in!!!

true, not something I wanna mess up! especially if I'm doing a wreck dive 80ft down & a few miles out in the atlantic =O

 

[Ron Leversee]

Yep, you got that right!!!

I service my regs 3) Apeks ds4/tx50 2)Scubapro mk2 1)SP mk25/s600 1)SP mk15/D400 then again I used to do it for a shop and I used to make regulators for aerospace...

 

[Ron Leversee]

Cool....I will send mine to you!!!!

pretty cheap here to have them done at the local dive shop.

I highly recommend that you send your equipment to a dive shop with qualified technitian or in our case to our tech service dept for its annual service or problems you don't want your equipment in a questionable status when you go diving

I do that already, was just wondering if anyone did it on their own.

Yes. But I'm certified to service them by the manufacturer and have the right tools, manuals and parts. Without those It is REALLY not a good idea. The best of intentions and desire to save a few dollars is not worth it. Diving and reefkeeping share a common thread. Only bad things happen fast.
