Insider Tips to avoid pitfalls with Gear Service
Ron Willis Mar 27, 2023
Hey Divers, get your gear in early for Service as things are very busy right now. Check out our Service page for ALL the brands we are Authorized and Have Hands on Experience Servicing.
Note: Being in Business for over 40 years, we'd love to Service your gear but wanted to share a few Industry Insider tips that you should apply when selecting your next Service Vendor!
Just being a Dealer of a Specific Scuba Gear Vendor does not mean that the shop has any experienced techs that:
- Have done the Hands on or Online training.
- Have Mentored for more than a year with a Seasoned Gear tech.
- Have any recent experience with the brand in question.
- Have specialized Vendor Specific tools and an Industry Standard Service repair bench.
- Have Many of the common Service Repair Kits in Stock across all Vendors supported.
We want our Divers to be Safe and that is why do the following:
- Send ALL our Techs to the different Vendor training sessions.
- Have a Mentoring program in place whereby newer Techs work directly under our Seasoned Gear Maint Staff.
- New Techs first start out on Shop regulators and Only transition to working on Customers regulators once fully vetted by our Staff.
- Our Tech Staff has over a combined 25 years of Service Experience that gets shared amongst the entire team.
- We Have more than 1 dedicated Service bench and an extensive set of specialized vendor specific tools.
Hope these tips help you avoid trusting just anyone with a Dive Gear Sign to service your Life Support Gear and keep you as Safe as Possible! See you in the Water Soon!
