Interspiro Service Center in Gastonia, NC: Why Our Dedicated Test Bench Matters
Brent Clevenger Oct 24, 2026
At Sink or Swim Scuba in Gastonia, NC, we are a major service center for Interspiro. When an Interspiro full face mask or regulator comes across our bench, it does not go on the same equipment we use for everyday scuba gear. It goes on a completely separate Interspiro test bench.
Why Interspiro Has Its Own Test Bench
Interspiro sets its own testing requirements to make sure each unit meets its stringent, high-performance standard. Meeting that standard takes Interspiro-specific equipment, so we service these units on a bench built for the job.
Our OTS Guardian full face masks are different. They can be checked with the same diagnostic and testing equipment we use for normal scuba equipment. The Interspiro line is where the dedicated bench comes in.
More Than Just the Mask
The same bench supports more than the full face mask. We use it with:
- The Interspiro Divator DP-1 surface supply system
- Interspiro regulators
- The Interspiro RS4
Why Interspiro Full Face Masks Stand Out
Interspiro makes what we consider the best-breathing full face masks available. Most full face masks come in a single size. Interspiro offers regular small, regular and XL, so more divers get a proper fit. They also come in several materials for different mission types. Learn more on our Interspiro Divator full face mask page or read our Divator full face mask review.
Demo Equipment and Surface Supplied Training
We keep Interspiro demo equipment in the store so qualified divers and dive teams can test dive it before they buy. We can also certify your dive team in surface supplied diving. See how we support teams on our public safety diving page and in Interspiro full face masks and surface supplied air.
