Question What do you think of the Scubatech brand?

[Tom_Ivan]

I'm thinking about buying these two regs for sale at $550NZD ($329 USD). I cannot find much much information on them as Google just thinks I want web pages about tech diving when trying to search the brand.

Can I get some feedback on them?

1. Are they reliable?
2. Are service kits available to the general public?
3. Do they need special tools to service?
4. Are service manuals available to general public?
5. I did read somewhere that they are a Apeks copy. Would Apeks service kits fit them?
6. Anything else of note?

Many thanks

Scubatec OR Scubatech ?

The company is Polish. It's a brand of Tecline.

I have no idea where the regs are made, but they look like typical Taiwanese ODM offerings.

ScubaGaskets has service kits for TecLine regs, e.g. Service kit for TECLINE 1st Stages R2 Ice, R2 Ice, R2 Tec 5-Port

At least some of their first stages indeed have a design very similar to Apeks DS4/DST, but the HP seat is different as far as I remember. The second stages I've seen (and serviced) were unbalanced downstream regulators, unlike Apeks.
