DiveRite XT1 (1st stage, RG-5100) & XT2 (2nd stage, RG-5200) service kit availability

It's a very small shop that I occasionally DM for, I doubt they're in a position where they would want to sponsor training for a new equipment tech. At least that's just what I assume, maybe I should actually talk to them. I do like the idea of getting some old regs and service manuals and practicing, I'll definitely look into that.

I was not talking about formal training but that is one option. I was thinking more of lending a hand to their equipment tech for free. Regulator repair is easier to learn hands on, than through a book or in a class.

On a side note, not to start a war or anything but I find it hard to understand why or how a TDI rec Nx cert makes someone suitable or deserving to attend a service workshop, actually any diving certification. I'm not sure what one has to do with other. Of course there may well be a very good reason behind this.

It is a weed out. First, I would assume a technical diver would have a better understanding of the risks of scuba than a typical recreational diver. Second, I would also assume technical divers are more active and would be servicing their gear more often so the risk of them forgetting things is less.
