Scuba Tank Hydro Testing
All Scuba Tanks need to be tested hydrostatically every 5 years. The question
is: Do you take it to a dive shop that will just turn around and send it to an
outside facility to be tested? When you bring your Scuba tank
to us, it is tested right here in our facility, no shipping it out to anyone.
We take care of your tanks in house. We are the only
dive store in Maine and one of only a few in New England that is a licensed
D.O.T. cylinder hydro testing facility. This feature gives ultimate quality
control and speedy service of your equipment as we do not have to rely on
sending your equipment to an outside service provider.
Visual Inspection of Scuba Tanks
Scuba Tanks need to be visually inspected every year, and we do it all right
here. The Visual Inspection checks the inside and
outside of the tanks for any rust, corrosion, neck cracks, pitting, oxidation,
or any other problem that might have occurred since the last inspection. Our
staff is trained and certified by P.S.I., the nation’s leader in cylinder visual
inspection training. Note: Professional Dive Facilities will refuse to fill a
tank that doesn’t have a current visual inspection sticker valid within the last
year.
Equipment Repair
We offer a wide range of repair options for our customers. If your equipment
needs repair, bring in and we'll see how we can help you. Our knowledgeable
staff has been working in the scuba field since 1979. Being in business for so
long, we have parts and knowledge of older equipment that newer shops have never
seen. We treat every repair as if your life depended on it, which it does.
Regulator Overhauls
Many manufacturers require your Regulator, both the primary and the
secondary, to be serviced at least once a year. Some brands require this
documentation to keep your lifetime warranty from being voided. Your breathing
underwater is a direct result of your regulator performance. By having your
Regulators serviced every year, you are less likely to have a problem with it
underwater. Regulators are life support equipment not just another accessory.
Give it the care you deserve.

Gauge Accuracy Checks and Calibrations
We are certified, and equipped to
Check and Calibrate your Submersible Pressure Gauge,
(SPG) and depth gauge. If you doubt the accuracy of
your depth gauge we can test it in our pressure
chamber. We work on many makes and models. But, if
for some reason it can not be fixed, we have a good
selection of new and used Gauges to choose from.
Quality Air Fills
We are a P.A.D.I. Five Star
Center, and to be a Five Star Center our air is
tested by an outside laboratory every three months
to insure that it meets the stringent requirements
for underwater breathing air. In addition we are the
only dive store in Maine to own their own air
quality test kit and listed by the Maine State
Department of Health to conduct air quality tests
throughout the state for breathing air compressors.
We are conveniently located just a short distance
from Interstate 95, so if you are in need of air or
equipment, we are easy to reach.
Nitrox Tanks Filled
Yes we fill Nitrox tanks, so look
no further. We were the first blending station in
the state. Our gas blenders can custom mix your
specialty. Divers must present Nitrox certification
before filling. We also teach a Nitrox Specialty
Class, see Class Schedule link on the left for more
information about becoming Nitrox Certified.
Dry Suit Repairs
Lets face it, you paid a lot of
money for your Dry Suit, so why throw it out when a
problem arises. Bring it to us, we can most likely
fix it for you, and save you a small fortune. Our
full size dry suit test tank allows us to submerge
and pressurize your suit and check for leaks. We
offer many options for the Diver that has a problem
with their Wet Dry Suit. Many repairs can be done on
site.
