Intro Tech Course
Can I service my own equipment after this?
No. Please do not open your regulator. If you ever have any issues with your regulator, even if you believe you know the solution, bring it to a certified technician. Many manufacturers will not follow through with warranties due to non-certified interference.
Can I get a job as a regulator service technician after this?
Not necessarily. This course does not qualify you for any certifications. To become a regulator technician, you would need to go through a certification course with each manufacturer you wish to service and work for a store that is a dealer.
Is there anything I can or should do to prepare for the course?
We recommend buying and reading through Regulator Savvy from Scuba Tools. However, this is not a requirement. For more information on the book, please visit their site.
What information should I expect to learn?
The course is designed to give you a strong working knowledge of the basic theory and application of regulators and the introduction to common scuba, special application, diagnostic, and tuning tools. This includes: a typical service procedure, the breakdown of typical parts, types of first and second-stage regulators, diagnostic measurements, and typical sounds heard when testing equipment.
The course is followed by hands-on disassembly and assembly of different types of regulators, as well as a demonstration on testing and fine-tuning a regulator.
