My Blacktip Leaked Yesterday

[lostsheep]

Is this their MO?

Let’s just say I hope your experience with them is better than literally everyone else I know who has had an issue with a DiveX scooter and needed support

Does anyone know a replacement part number from an alternate supplier for the BlackTip shaft seal?

If you can get the part, it should be easy to replace. But, if you can't source a replacement part the difficult of doing the work becomes irrelevant.

If it a cheaper DPV, they didn't make a custom seal.
Just a matter of measuring and looking it up.
But looks like it availability is no problem if that PN is correct

IMO not a big deal to fix just patience,

I'm assuming the circuitry is fried too

You can send just the tail unit to them. My buddy dropped his travel and put a small crack in the tube under a strap. We didn't see it when looking and it flooded while getting his fins on. It literally smoked under water with gray plumes coming out. He took them the tail, they didn't want the tube, and they sent him a compete refurbished travel for ~$550 two weeks later.

Well you know when I rebuild em I rebuild em good, so I don't have problems
and usually taking two batteries on board for the two dives I've only used one

and I'm huge

The orange oval Oring never found a defect, others come from the Oring shop

Of course there's always my battery factory providing endless hours of interest

the battery building bench here is somewhat full currently now at the moment

But Then I'd get mileage from a pushbike with a propeller poking out the back

aggravation

?

They just reached out to me and asked me to ship the entire unit to them for evaluation. I have no idea what that'll cost me.

Cost me $160 from FL to WA.

Take the handle off, there is a good chance it will break.

It’s not cheap, especially sending it across the Atlantic in my case.

However, I’m very happy with the results: a unit that works and doesn’t leak. Their repairs are good and they replaced quite a few things. Almost feels like new but it is the original back end.

All interactions I’ve had with DiveX have been great. The repair was done quickly in about 3 weeks and I was kept up to date with progress.

Actually, after change the aluminum case, I never see any water in my BT over 50 times dive.
