Hello Folks,
Today I picked up a nice set of Oceanic Alpha 8 reg, with octopus and console w. computer etc. - used for less than 100 bucks (included some other stuff too).
I went to a diveshop to show it to them and we hooked it up to a tank, it worked perfect.
Now here is my question: of couse the shop recommends to service the reg.
BUT: they want 69$ for a regulator service!
Is it just me or is this a lot? Also, it works fine, why should I service it? Can't I service it myself (any recommendations where to find a service manual online)?
any insight would help big time!
Cheers
chris
