Scuba Equipment Servicing

For maximum convenience, you can drop off and collect your gear at our regular pool nights in Clapham and Dulwich (we run 3 each month) – making servicing easy to fit around your schedule. Alternatively, you can contact us to arrange postal delivery or visit our dive shop in Portland, Dorset.

Once your equipment has been serviced and is ready for collection, we’ll notify you promptly. You can collect it at our next pool session in Clapham or Dulwich, or we can arrange delivery back to your location. Alternatively, you can pick it up at our Portland shop,

A service certificate accompanies all serviced regulators, cylinders, and BCDs. Our highly qualified technicians have extensive experience in servicing most brands. It’s recommended to maintain regulators and BCDs according to the manufacturers’ guidelines—either every 100 dives or annually (or every two years in some cases), whichever comes first.
