New diver - where to get regs serviced?

[Aloha Joe]

Most of the "best local LDS" threads seem to be 10 years old or so. I'm in LA (South Bay) and just bought a used SP reg (G250/MK10+) that I'd like to have checked out. Where are the best places to bring or send it?

Thanks!

Eco dive center should be close to you so it'd be good and convenient.

You have choices

• Eco Dive Center (Culver City)
• Dive N Surf (Redondo Beach)
• Pacific Wilderness (San Pedro)

Not in any particular order, they're all decent shops.

Thanks. I see Eco Dive Center actually sends the regs out according to their website.

Dive N Surf is up the street from me. I didn't get the best feeling from the retail department so I thought I'd ask here just to be sure. I'll stop in again, otherwise I can bring the regs to Aqualab (where Eco Dive sends equipment to).

Had a buddy that did that, and was very happy.

I get the same feeling as you from dns retail store. Service is good if Jocko is still there.

Full disclosure, I service my own equipment these days.

@cool_hardware52 lives in your area and dives Scubapros. While I know he services them himself, I suspect he knows who to take them to

I am geographically challenged regarding the left coast, but if you were to send them out, I cannot hesitate in recommending Glynn Palmer at Malibu Scuba Repair.

Glynn is the MAN.

Skilled, knowledgeable tech, and a genuinely nice guy.

I will echo what others have said. Glynn is the man. Use the pre-paid priority boxes at your Post Office and send it to him by following the instructions on his website. When your items return, the condition they are in will convince you to go no where else.

Oh sweet, mail-in service is even better! Glynn will be my guy.

In the meantime I've been looking at vids for DIY servicing the G250 and MK10. They're pretty simple, and if I had access to air I might just do them myself the first time.
