Equipment Servicing at Dales Watersports
Our technical team are available to provide Servicing for your equipment. Regular servicing of your equipment is important in terms of safety and the life of your kit. Some servicing is a legal requirement and your cylinders will not be filled unless they are within their test period. Regulators supply you with your breathing gas underwater and need to be serviced in line with the Manufacturter's recommendations and good old common sense. Dry suit seals have a habit of tearing just before use. Dales Watersports has it's own in-house team of Service Technicians for your Regulator, BCD, Dive Computer and Dive Watch servicing. Dry Suit repairs and Cylinder tests go to our external Service Centre and are usually back to us within 2 to 4 weeks.
We will usually quote a one week turnaround for most in-house servicing work but please let us know if you need it back sooner and we'll do what we can to help. As always, if your equipment is in for service, we will happily let you use one of our own sets until yours is ready - at no charge of course!
Regulator ServicingWe are able to service the overwhelming majority of regulators on-site. If for any reason we are unable to service your regulator, our off-site technicians will normally be able to help. There are however a small number of obsure manufacturers that we are unable to service and we will advise you on these when checking the regulator in. As a general rule, a first and second stage service with an alternate second stage octopus will cost from approximately £90. This includes the costs of the standard manufacturer's service kits. Some makes and models will cost slightly more and we will happily quote you for the anticipated cost when you come in. Equally, there will be a charge for any parts needed during a service that isn't included in the manufacturer's kits.
