Regular service of your dive equipment is vital to keep you safe underwater.
Here at Deep Blue Pirates our trained service technicians can service all of your dive equipment at a very competitive rate and with a quick turnaround. We also offer a collect-and-return service from anywhere in the UK for an additional fee.
It is recommended by manufacturers that your regulator is serviced every 100 dives or at least annually. Don’t compromise on your safety: get your kit serviced. To book your kit in for service contact us or drop in at the shop.
Regulator Servicing
A full service includes standard service parts. Additional charges may apply if non-standard service parts are used or additional cleaning is required. We will contact you for approval prior to any additional working being carried out.
All regulator sets are fully stripped and cleaned in a sonic tank, all parts are inspected and replaced as required. Only genuine manufacturer service kits are used.
Drysuits
At Deep Blue Pirates we can replace both latex and neoprene seals on most Drysuits as well as carry out repairs and complete boot or zip replacement. Repairs usually take 2 days depending on the availability of parts. Please make sure your suit is dry when you bring it in for repair, or this may extend the usual 48 hour repair time.
BCDs
BCDs are often the forgotten piece of dive kit but should be serviced every year to ensure that they are fully functioning. At Deep Blue Pirates we fully strip down the BCD, clean and service the inflator valve, and wash inside the bladder and the dump valves. Parts are replaced as required.
Tanks
All SCUBA tanks used in the UK require a test every two and a half years from the manufacture date. The first test is a visual inspection, but if this is carried out more than 1 month past the due date a full hydrostatic test will be required. The hydrostatic test is carried out after 5 years. Turnaround is normally 7-10 days.
