Aloha To All:
In regard to servicing scuba equipment, I've been doing it full-time since 1983. I am authorized to perform service in most major brands including Aeris, Aqua-Lung, Atomic, Cressi-sub, Dacor, Genesis, Hollis, Mares, Oceanic, Sherwood, Seaquest, Scubapro, Poseidon, Tusa & Zeagle.
I have also taught the technical service education programs for various scuba manufacturer's, including Scubapro (as Tech Svc Manager for Scubapro Pacific '95-'96), Atomic, Mares & Zeagle (for Big Blue dist), and currently for Oceanic, Aeris & Hollis. I also teach the cylinder inspection, valve repair, eddy current technician & O2 cylinder cleaning programs for PSI/PCI. In addition to teaching, I have also written several service procedures and continue to provide consulting for the above manufacturer's
Yes, we are located out in Kapolei at 91-444 Komohana Street in Campbell Industrial park...682-7372,

As far as turnaround time, we are quite busy in the summer, with repairs completed between 2-3 weeks, in the off-season about 7-10 days; however, we have always offered 24 hour service upon request (additional labor surcharge).
As far as the comment "is not friendly..."; I'm not sure where that came from since I've never heard that description about me; but I do take issue with the comment from "diveanytime" in regard to "getting lazy and not replaceing parts when he should"...this is absolutely false and I am offended by it. Anyone who has ever been to my shop will immediately understand the investment & effort in our commitment to provide the utmost quality in life support service; I've just returned from my 22nd DEMA show in order to continue with tech education (as required by all scuba manufacturers); we have the most comprehensive testing equipment, parts inventory & specialty tools in the entire state (and one of the most capable facilities in the country).
Mahalo,
