service

Background Hey there all. I've been diving for a bit over a year now and got my sidemount certification. I decided to buy a set of used Xstreams in good condition, because a friend (who has been servicing his own Poseidons for over a decade) convinced me that servicing is pretty straight...

Hi, One of my YS-D2 has broken bulb. By the time I had money to get it repaired Sea and Sea decided not to support this "old" model. So I am stuck with 700$ paper weight. Is there anyone who could fix this for me? Or is it worth any money for parts? I must add, this is the reason I will never...

Hi Everyone, I recently purchased this regulator second hand and I'm having trouble identifying the model for purchasing a rebuild kit. I think it might be a Delta 3? If anyone could help me identify the model and possibly even point me in the direction of a rebuild kit I would be incredibly...

I worked at LDS a few years back and was certified through a manufacture for their gear. I want to start servicing gear again but what insurance is required for me to have? I assume some sort of liability insurance? I know dive instructors have insurance but what about service repair...

I'm trying to see if I can give an old oceanic delta 2 regulator a second lease of life. I took the regulator apart and cleaned everything (soapy water followed by vinegar for the metalic parts that needed it). I want to know if the regulator is salvageable/safe to use considering the state of...

Seems its recommended by Manufacturers to have the Underwater housing serviced every 2 years. Who really does it? Had you had problems after service?

Is it normal for some of the lube to pass the piston into the swivel? I’ve never packed an Environmental chamber but mine looked lite on lube. Also noticed some clear lube on the outside of the reg. I was at my LDS looking for a trim ring to replace the environmental band, the tech showed me a...

Hello everyone. First off all sorry if that’s a repeat, so feel free to point me to the right thread if I’m to blind to find it myself. Because of the corona virus my industry completely shut down and left me out of work. And frankly I don’t see it picking up anytime soon (I’m sound engineer)...

It would be interesting to know how much you pay to have your regulators serviced (primary, secondary and octi).

hi guys, Could anyone share a tutorial or manual taking me through the steps to service myself my Apeks High Profile dump valve? It started leaking last week, despite being water proof for 1+ years. Youtube is generous on videos when it comes to the more recent Apeks low-profile valve, but not...

Question for the DIY out there. Getting ready to install a new service kit. Reading from Atomics technical service procedure below. Those that do service their own Atomic second stage, is this the procedure you follow, adjusting the cracking effort with the spring pad adjuster? Just...

Hello - sorry to bring up a relic (albeit a loveable relic, eh). Hoping people still are diving this wonderful 2nd stage and may provide some wisdom. I've used this quarantine (here in Manila) to finally teach myself to overhaul my MK11/G250 rigs. It was super easy. My question is related...

I'm trying to find a class for the TDI/Hog regulator service course. Does anyone know of a listing for instructors that teach this? Ideally I'd like to find a class close to Southwest Ohio but realize that may or may not be possible. I've looked on the TDI and Edge/HOG websites but don't see...

Hi All, I recently came across a great resource from Kieran at Diving in Depth. DIVING IN DEPTH - Dive Equipment Sales & Support for sizing up JJ orings and loved it especially since the JJ o-ring kit is just big bag full or o-rings and you have to play the game of find the size your looking...

It may take a while to collect enough data on this given the generally low failure rate, however, it would be great to have some insight into when people here experience regulator failure. We will see the regulator set as a whole, that is, not differentiate between first or second stage...

TLDR; My LDS is saying they can't service my 1st and 2nd stage reg without also servicing my Air2, which I just purchased from them (from their certification fleet). Is this normal? The long version: A few weeks ago, I bought a used bcd with an Air2 Octo from my LDS. I assumed the bc and octo...

Hey there. I bought two ScubaTech regulators and now I can't find anyone to service them. What is up with that? I'm in Northern California and it's time but most shops say no or have never heard of ScubaTech/Tecline. Any suggestions in the Bay Area?

Hello to all the professiona technicians out there. I am looking for as many responses to the following question from experienced scuba equipment technicians. What is the correct way to test a first stage scuba regulator once an annual service is completed? I have two basic technician...
