THE LARGEST IMPORTER OF DIVING CYLINDERS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
All equipment used by divers underwater or for the provision of their breathing gases is fundamentally life support equipment. Scuba regulators, scuba tanks and compressors work at extremely high pressures and use innovative engineering design techniques to function correctly. The service and repair of scuba equipment is not intuitive even for those with formal engineering training in other disciplines. Scuba regulator spare parts kits and scuba repair tools are also difficult source and purchase.

It takes around 3/4 hours to complete a service on a regulator, it will take a couple of days to get your Regulator serviced. In peak seasons, it can take unto 10 working days to get a regulator service done. In off seasons, it could be anywhere from 3 days to 10 days. It all depends on Β how many Regs are in the line before yours.
As it generally takes about 2 hours to service a BC, BC services generally take around 4 β 5 days. In Peak seasons it could take longer due to the amount of BCs in for service.Β
The Regulator service costs R495.00 for the labour, excluding parts. The typical servicing cost ranges from R1000.00 to R1600.00 including parts, depending on the brand. Hoses replacement quoted separately.

It will all depend on the brand and model of your Regulator and as to how expensive the service kits are. Service kits are used on all Regulators. These kits can cost from R60 β R600.

Most certainly, safety checks are complimentary.Β
Manufacturer specifications suggest the servicing of bcs yearly.Β
Generally the problem of a 2nd stage regulator free-flow is due to the first stage where the Interstage Pressure is unstable. It is a safety measure so you donβt burst a hose if the interstage pressure rises too high. Your 2nd stages will free-flow to release the build-up of pressure in your regulator. It could just be a simple adjustment on the 2nd stage, so may as well bring the entire reg through for a check-up.
No, there are specific tools you need to open and close the dump valves and power inflator. Its always better to get a qualified technician to service ANY gear.
Regulator revivals are possible⦠provided the brand is still supported and parts are readily available. If there are no parts, we can always help with an upgrade on your reg but it may be time to let that one go. (Hang it in your bar as a piece of history). If it is an oil filled regulator, unfortunately we cannot revive that.
Normally takes about 2-3 days, depending on the number of computers in the queue.
Unbalanced piston and balanced piston regulators we recommend you get it serviced once a year because of corrosion build-up inside the first stage. Diaphragm regulators every 2 years or 100 dives (whichever comes first).
Normally takes about 2-3 days, depending on the number of transmitters in the queue.

No, unfortunately not. Compressor operators have a responsibility to their own safety as well as the safety of others within the facility. By filling cylinders that are out of date the compressor operator exponentially increases the risk of a high pressure accident occurring.
You will be notified to come and give it a second look but the cylinder will have to be destroyed.
