The service and repair of scuba equipment is not intuitive even for those with formal engineering training in other disciplines. Scuba regulator spare parts kits and scuba repair tools are also difficult source and purchase. Only formal training in the repair and maintenance of dive equipment such as that received during the ASSET approved Dive Industry Technicians Course DITC can ensure the continuing safe and reliable operation of life support equipment.
Only technicians who have attended recognised training should attempt to service a scuba regulator. Many diver deaths have been caused by amateur attempts of scuba regulator repair.
Additionally, original manufacturer scuba regulator spare parts, custom tools, parts diagrams solvents and greases must be used.
All technical support from this web site is only made available formally trained service technicians. Industry brand leaders such as Scubapro, Oceanic, Aqualung, Apeks, Mares, Poseidon, care about the safe reliable performance of their products.
All brand leaders set up extensive international networks of service centers with formally trained technicians to accomplish this task. The single piece non-welded cylinder, plus heat treatments results in strength many times that of the pure aluminium. Rough handling, corrosion, heat and many other factors can critically effect the strength and integrity of its construction. The end result is an explosion, that usually occurs during refilling, killing the compressor operator and destroying the dive center.
Inspection of scuba tanks is a hazardous activity. Technicians have had limbs amputated when trying to remove the valve from pressurized cylinders. A dive instructor working at Koh Tao, Thailand suffered a critical injury when a scuba tank valve exploded.
The pillar valve plus the removal tool was jettisoned through his leg during a servicing action. Thankfully no one else was injured. Millions of scuba tanks still in use are made of an obsolete aluminum alloy that suffer from Sustained Load Cracking.
Cracks develop in the neck region that eventually causes the cylinder to explode. These older cylinders must be tested using NDT equipment.
New Zealand recently banned cylinders made from this older T aluminum alloy — other countries are expected to follow suit soon.
In one example, a flooded steel cylinder exploded within just a few months. Making sure the scuba technician can trust his tools and concentrate on the actual service of the equipment.
