Where to Find Oceanic Delta3/4 Kits?

[USFishin]

I have a Oceanic Delta 3 and my wife has a Delta 4, and my friend is looking into a Delta 4 also. I am an engineer and mechanically inclined and am planning on servicing our regulators. I have found all the tools and manuals I need. The only problem is the parts. Anyone have a good Oceanic parts supplier?

Good luck. Oceanic prohibits dealers from selling kits to the public. Most manufacturers do this. Dive Rite used to sell kits for their regs online but I don't know if they still do.

Why would you want to service them yourself? Oceanic will supply the parts for free for life, all you have to pay for is labor. I doubt you'll save much money, and my reg is not something I would mess with no matter how mechanically niclined I am unless I had the training and specialized tools.

I want to service my own regulators for several reasons. First of all I am the type of person that is verfy meticulous and has to work on all their own stuff. I like the piece of mind knowing that I am the one that worked on my equipment and not some tank monkey at a dive shop. After reading through the service manual and reading through pages of threads on doing your own service I am very confident that I can do it. Being an engineer I am very good at understanding how things work together and making the necessary adjustments based on the manuals. Secondly, both my wife and I have Oceanic regulators and it would be very cost effective to do our own service rather than pay someone to do it for us. At $20+ per stage at a dive shop it gets expensive when you are servicing 2 regulators yearly. Also, my friend just bought a delta 4 as well. So the 3 of us will benefit from the purchase of the specialized tools. The cost of the parts is nominal compared to the cost of taking it in every year.

I'm guessing that the specialized tools (if you can even get them) will probably cost more than a lifetime cost of servicing a few regs. By the way the Delta 4 (if the first stage has DVT) only requires servicing every 2 years according to Oceanic!

 

[USFishin]

No, the tools will cost about $120. Having both regs serviced once would pay for the tools. Then that's not counting doing the 3rd one too (my friend's).

Hello USFishin,

Never mind the naysayers. Just wanting to service your own gear is enough to pursue it provided you have the confidence and background to do so....obviously you have both.

I do not use your brand of regulator so I can not help you there. Have you tried eBay?

I have to suggest you post this question in the DIY section.

Good luck,

couv

Yes Couv, I have tried ebay and all over the internet and have had no luck. I did post on the DIY section and did get a PM from another Oceanic owner that does his own. He told me of a place that sells them but doesn't list them on their site. I won't say where it is cuz I don't know if it should be public knowledge (since he PM'd me). But anyways, eventhough I have 1 place that supposedly will sell them it'd be nice to hear from anyone else who has Oceanic gear that services their own to see where they get their parts.

Thanks,
Scott
