Local Reg servicing

kjunheart · May 5, 2008

Brian and I are going on a trip to Saba

next month and I'd like to get our regs serviced before we go. Can anyone recommend someone who does a good job and is quick/reliable? I'd like to get it done so I can get a couple of dives in before I leave. Unfortunately, the place I have been using has recently shown me that they do not live by their word or stand by their workmanship. So I need a new place to hang my hat!

Thanks for your help!

What brand regs are they?

Although they are a long schlep for you, UnderSeas Sports in Fort Lauderdale has been servicing my gear since 1982 (but they've been in business longer than that!) and they have my business for life. If you can't find someone good closer to home, they are worth the trip. 954-564-8661, ask for Matt or Barry.

It's a little bit of a drive, but the best person I know to service regs is in S. Daytona, Red's Blue Water Diving. you can contact him through:

Red Sullivan's World Famous Blue Water Diving - Daytona Beach, Florida

Hey, do ya suppose they'd service a 30 y/o ScubaPro MK5 over there? I took it to Castaway last year.. and though they did an excellent job, it took almost a month and a half to get it back. I don't want that kind of gap in the middle of my summer this year! And nobody else I called in Orlando would touch it.

Red specializes in ScubaPro! :eyebrow:

You know what he tells me about my Mares (also old regs) :dork2:

Seriously, I can't guarantee how long the turn-a-round time will be, but I'd if it would be anywhere near the time you experienced last year. Most of the dive shops east of Orlando use him (at least to some extent). I bring my stuff to him and it's usually done while I wait.

Sweet! I might have to plan a little weekend trip to Daytona sometime soon. Haven't been to Daytona in almost 10 years, anyway.

If you can't get it done in time to get in some checkout dives before you leave I'd hold off on the service. Right after service is when most people have problems, usually incorrect adjustments or incorrect assembly. Instead, see if a local shop can do a pre-trip inspection which they should be able to do while you wait. If it fails and their opinion is the regs are not safe to use on the trip then you can arrange for rental regs from the LDS or on site.

Not local but quick. "CAPT" Bob recently turned my wife's regs around in 2 weeks and that included the mailing back in forth each way.

Thanks for the input. I have a Mares and didn't even look to see what Brian has. I had brought my reg to an LDS and they were suppose to have it done a week ago ... someone at the shop evidently forgot to send it out. You've got to love the service industry in South Florida! So I guess I will just wait till I get back.
