Who has a decent Parts for Life program now?
I know Scubapro requires you to buy 3 pieces of equipment - regs, bcd and computer. This won't work for us.
I was told Apeks has one too, which only requires you to buy their regulators from an authorized dealer, Yr 1 maintenance service, Yr 2 overahaul, repeat. Parts kits are required only for overhaul.
I was told Scubapro's parts kits can cost a lot...plus labour, adding up to several hundred (CAD$300-400) every 2 years for a complete set of regs.
Can someone shed some light on this? Should I forget about getting Scubapros and get Apeks instead? We're warm water vacation divers and do not want to (and do not know how) to safely service our own regs.
Are there courses that non-professionals can take to service a Scubapro reg? Is this advisable?
