Scuba Gear Repair & Service: Factory-Authorized Experts
At Sink or Swim Scuba, we provide expert scuba equipment repair and servicing in our fully equipped, factory-authorized facility. Our highly trained technicians are also certified scuba diving instructors with extensive field experience, ensuring precision maintenance, repairs, and assembly for a wide range of top scuba brands. We specialize in servicing Atomic, Hollis, Zeagle, Oceanic, Ocean Management Systems (OMS), Sherwood, Tusa, Dive Rite, Hog, Edge, Interspiro Divator (AGA full-face mask), Poseidon, XS Scuba, and Ocean Technology Systems (OTS), as well as other select brands.
Advanced Scuba Regulator Tuning & Testing
We utilize state-of-the-art technology, including an A.I.R. (Atmospheric Inhalation Resistance) Flow Analyzer, to test diving regulators under both static and dynamic conditions. This ensures your regulator is tuned to manufacturer specifications and optimized for your unique diving needs, providing peak performance and safety. Additionally, we use a Quick Set fixture machine to efficiently "break in" new poppets and HP seats—a specialized service rarely offered at other dive shops.

What a Regulator Service Includes
A regulator service is more than a quick cleaning. We disassemble each stage, clean and inspect every component, replace the soft goods and any worn parts, then reassemble and test the regulator for proper intermediate pressure and breathing performance. Regulator service starts at $25 per stage plus parts, so the final price depends on how many stages we work on. Most divers should have their regulator serviced about once a year, or sooner if it breathes hard, free-flows, or has been sitting unused for a long stretch.
BCD, VIP, and Hydrostatic Tank Services
Your buoyancy compensator keeps you safe and comfortable at depth, so we inspect inflators, dump valves, bladders, and seams during a BCD service ($20 and up). Annual visual tank inspections (VIP) start at $20, and hydrostatic tank testing starts at $60, which keeps your cylinder current and fill-ready at our shop or any other. Bring your tank in with your regulator and BCD and we can often service everything in one visit.
Full-Face Masks and Surface-Supplied Systems
Full-face masks and surface-supplied diving systems are quoted separately because the work depends on the specific model and configuration. As a factory-certified service center for every brand we service, including Interspiro and OTS, we support public safety dive teams and commercial operators with maintenance and repair. Learn more about our Interspiro Divator distribution and service, the OTS Guardian full-face mask and dive communications, and see how one of those masks performed in a real-world Winston-Salem pond dive. Teams building out their equipment program can start with our public safety diving support page or request an equipment consultation.
Scuba Gear Service FAQ
How often should I have my regulator serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend service about once a year or every 100 dives, whichever comes first. If you dive less often, an annual check still helps because seals and soft goods age even when the regulator sits in a bag.
How long will my repair take?
Most repairs are completed in under two weeks. Call 704-823-0501 if you have a dive trip coming up and we will do our best to plan around your travel date.
How much does service cost?
Regulator service starts at $25 per stage plus parts, BCD service and VIP inspections start at $20, and hydrostatic testing starts at $60. Full-face masks and surface-supplied systems are quoted separately.
Can I bring in gear I did not buy from you?
Yes. We service gear from the brands listed above no matter where you bought it. If you are looking for gear to replace what you have, ask our team and we will help you find the right fit.
Where do I drop off my gear?
Bring your gear to our shop, or call 704-823-0501 and we will walk you through the next step.
