Bristol
Channel Diving Services operates a leading service and repair workshop.
Neil has been in the industry since 1981 and has over 25 years of
experience.
All
of the work is done in our workshop, we do not farm it out to the man
down the road or, the guy that does it cheapest etc. etc. (with the
exception of neoprene suit repairs which are returned back to the
factory). We believe its important that the end user, you the customer,
can discuss any issues you might have with your equipment when you
bring it in for a service or repair, with the person who is going to
service it. We learnt a long time ago that many divers require that
their demand valves and equipment is set up in a particular way that
suits their diving. If you wanted to, you can even make an appointment
with us and watch it being serviced!
The
team have developed unrivalled expertise in this area, utilizing
factory training and backup, and the correct diagnostic equipment to
ensure that your equipment, which after all is your life support when
you are underwater, is properly prepared for your diving experiences.
If you have any doubt’s about the care and trouble we go to, then look
at who we have taken factory service training from ...
This
is in addition to many others. The training certificates are on the
wall, and, with some of these manufacturers, such as Scubapro, we take
a two year refresher courses to keep up to date with what's new.
We recommend that you have your
gear serviced well before you need it for that important dive trip and,
that you dive it before you go, as regulators in particular can settle
and require final tweak in adjustment to achieve optimum
performance.
All
serviced equipment is normally available for return to the customer
within 10-12 working days, however this time may increase if parts are
unavailable or if demand for servicing is high during peak seasonal
periods, ask us if timescales are important to you.
To
make this happen, we try to hold in stock every service kit for all the
manufacturers we are authorized with, and in addition, every single
component for Poseidon, Scubapro, and Apeks is held in stock to enable
us to meet your schedules or solve your last minute problems.
