Modern diving equipment is highly reliable
and easy to use, but like a car it does require a certain amount of
regular care. Our recommendation is to have your BCD and Regulators
serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation, which
is most often annually. Doing so will help ensure a long and
reliable lifetime for your life support gear.
We make this easier and more affordable by automatically
enrolling you in our Premium Service Club when you purchase a
Regulator or BCD from "The" Dive Shop. Club membership entitles you
to substantial discounts on your annual equipment checks for your
BCD and Regulator.
Please note that most manufacturers require regular equipment
service to keep their warranty in force, and this service must come
from a factory certified repair facility. Our service team has
factory training for the equipment we sell, in addition to many
other brands as well.
We have economical pre-set rates for many common service
procedures, as well as a generic labor rate of $60 / hour. There is a $2.50 shop charge per work order.
Service is typically complete in 14 - 21 days, though
items that must be sent back to the manufacturer may
take longer. Please advise us if you have an upcoming
trip or other deadline, and we will do our best to work
within your schedule.
