3.4 What Is Performed During Factory Repairs

 

Factory Full Service and Calibration is our standard repair process for any defective (current model) dive computer or instrument and subjected to the same quality control process as all new units.

Regulators returned for service will have parts replaced as necessary and tuned to factory specifications.

Buoyancy Compensators will only have the inflator assembly and over pressure valves serviced unless otherwise stated. The BCD will then be fully inflated to check for leaks.

Dive Computers will be tested as deemed necessary. Depending on availability, we typically replace returned units with similar instruments that have already undergone the Full Service and Calibration process, allowing a faster turnaround time. Dive computer logs are erased.

Wetsuits will be assessed upon receipt and we retain the right to return a product if we believe that the product is beyond repair and due the result of owner’s negligence.

Spare parts for obsolete products may leave the customer with no further option than to upgrade to a new current unit.

Products that are worn out, damaged or deteriorated beyond repair will not be serviced.

 

3.5 Non-warranty Repairs

 

Most non-warranty repairs offer a one-year limited warranty. Some product repairs such as dry suits and lights offer a 90-Day Limited Warranty.
