Scuba Equipment Maintenance

In an equipment intensive sport such as this, it is important to have your gear routinely inspected. Small equipment failures can result in large problems! At I Dive Tec Rec Centres Plc, we specialise in Certified Repair for all brands. We are a wholesale repair facility using fully qualified and highly trained technicians.

We offer equipment servicing for most makes and models. All equipment is well looked after during servicing and properly stored and cared for. Labour and test costs must be paid for when equipment is booked in. Cost of parts is payable upon completion of service.

Recent changes in the rules and regulations regarding the inspection of diving tanks require the testing station to destroy any tanks that fail the test. Inspection, testing is carried out in accordance with EN1968 for steel cylinders and EN1808 for aluminium cylinders. We carry out a range of scuba maintenance tasks including regulator servicing and cylinder testing in accordance with current European Union regulations and Industry standards for scuba equipment.

In addition, if a cylinder requires internal shot blasting procedures in order to remove corrosion or pitting, this will be carried out likewise, if on examination the valve requires a service, this will also be done.

When you bring your cylinders in for a Hydro test, you will be asked to sign a declaration that states that you agree to these terms and conditions.  You will also be required to pay the cylinder test failure destruction charge of €20, which will then be deducted from the final bill when the cylinder passes the test.

Our trained technicians will do a total scuba regulator repair, or annual overhaul of your scuba regulator for just Euro 49.95 (Plus parts if applicable). A Scuba Regulator Repair, also known as a Scuba Annual Service will include a complete disassembly, sonic cleaning of all metal parts, replacing or inspection and cleaning of all internal components, lubing, and re-assembling the regulators, 1st and 2nd stage and your octo (Octo inflators are a $19.95 additional charge). We will also check, lube and replace your HP Gauge o-rings and spool, All batteries will be replaced at a cost of Euro 10.95 each unless otherwise noted or with the exception of none user replaceable batteries. Then your regulator will be cycled multiple times to assure proper seating of the internal components. After the break in, it will be fine tuned and adjusted to specs on our flow bench

Sizing -- Society of Automotive Engineers AS568B is an Aerospace Standard that specifies sizes for O-rings used in sealing applications. An AS568B number is a three-digit suffix that identifies the O-ring's size. Technically, an O-ring size is listed as AS568B-016, AS568B-112, etc., but most people use just the three-digit number. The first digit denotes the O-ring cross section width: 0xx = 1/16-inch, 1xx = 3/32-inch, 2xx = 1/8-inch. While it might seem convenient to provide a picture sizing chart, we've never seen an online version that could be reproduced exactly in a Web browser. Also, sizing an existing O-ring that has been in service can be error prone because O-rings can take a set that changes their dimensions enough to be misleading. Luckily, the sizes used in 'user serviceable' SCUBA applications are fairly regular, so it's probably best to choose the size based upon the application
