Class for maintaining/servicing own equipment

[Pawleysdiver]

Years ago, I took an all-day class on how to service my own Scubapro equipment. I don't remember it it was an "authorized" class or not. It has been so long ago, i have forgotten a lot of it. Are there any dive shops on the east coast to offer a weekend class for this type of thing? I can travel just about anywhere there is an airport.

@Pawleysdiver scubapro specific in terms of authorized course is not going to happen unless you are associated with a scubapro dealer. One of the better options would be to contact @The Chairman who would be able to custom tailor a class to the gear you have

I didn’t think Scubapro or any other manufacturer would allow that. I understand why. I am looking for a general regulator repair class so that if I am on some far-flung island in the Pacific somewhere and I have whistling reg or something, I have the where with all to fix it and not ruin an expensive dive trip.

Actually Poseidon and Deep6 train either tech or normal divers in maintenance of their respective regulators. And provide the parts and service kits. The Deep6 second is very similar to the 109/BA below, as are most second stages. The Poseidon is very different.

On ScubaPro, you can get aftermarket kits for the older regs from VintageDoubleHose. Servicing the ScubaPro Balanced Adjustable is very easy. I use one of them and an S600 (of which I have two), or I use a Deep6.

Yep, from the comfort of your own home read the manuals and watch the videos. The VDH MK5 video will suffice in lieu of the MK10.

Thank you, again everyone! Lots of good advice!
