Who can service my octo with quick turnaround?

[aznlmpulse]

I've been looking for an in-house authorized servicer....my octo is on the verge of free-flow. Every shop I talked to sends the regs back to the company for servicing, or has a 10day min turn-around.

Any suggestions?

depends what brand? (as to which shop to recommend)

also.. a tech told me that most free-flows aren't caused by the second-stage, but are due to the first-stage starting to slip or blow.. so, maybe get the first-stage checked out too.

but a couple good shops: IDH and OC (dakine repair in kapolei.. that's OC's main bench)..

I find that an extra $50 spot will get it done in ONE day

I heard there was a guy in hawaii kai that rocks...anyone know how to get in touch with him?

it's an aqualung legend lx, with legend octo. Fairly new, about 6 months...I hope it's not the 1st stage. The primary 2nd stage works just fine.

His name is Mikey and he DOES rock! He's in the book under Mikey's Scuba Shop.

Mikey - checked out my octo (which was freeflowing) and didn't charge me for it. Especially nice of him, considering the stuff with the Feds. I still feel bad about that.

What island?

If Maui, check out Maui Dreams -- they'll often do it on-the-spot, providing one of the repair techs (Aron or Don) are in...

I need a little servicing as well and found http://www.dakinescuba.com/ but don't have any experience with them. I'm closer to Mikey, so I might give him a call.

Eddie is good, too. Turnaround might be a little longer.
