Hi,
I intend to service my own regs, and would like to seek advice from those who've gone before on which route I should take.
I am considering 2 options:
1. Buy books, read, try to get the manufacturer's manual and learn on my own
2. Sign up for a course in regulator repair
Locally, this course is available to me, Part 2 is what I'm looking at:
Regulator Repair & Field Service Class - Unified Team Diving
Is taking a course really necessary? On one hand, regs are critical life-support equipment and I can't afford to get it wrong.
On the other hand, I've kind of busted my budget for the year for diving gear / courses.
I've been fixing my own bikes for many years so I'm very comfortable around tools and wrenches. Please help me out here, thanks.
