An obvious question?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For an obvious question, there would be an obvious answer, right? Of course, you service your dive equipment before you need to dive. You service it after it has been sitting for a few years. And you service it based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, usually in year intervals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But of course, it\u2019s not that simple of an answer because we have insider information. The best time to get your dive equipment serviced is now<\/strong>, during the winter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cyclic aquatic industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We share our building with two businesses. Gypsy Swim School <\/a>and a scuba shop, Gypsy Divers<\/a>. If you\u2019re here long enough, you notice a trend. As the months creep towards summer, the store becomes busier and busier. Even with the heated indoor pool to train in, people don\u2019t want to get certified in a cold quarry in the middle of January. So, they wait for warmer weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, people don\u2019t seem to gravitate to water in the frozen months. Our swim school\u2019s hallways are less boisterous, our schedule less packed, our store less frequented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what do these trends mean for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cyclic service center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the winter, people aren\u2019t talking about diving quite so much, they aren\u2019t signing up for trips, and they aren\u2019t thinking about servicing their equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, our shelves aren\u2019t as full, the technicians don\u2019t have such a long queue to get through, and you don\u2019t have as long to wait. The trend we\u2019ve seen is that it\u2019s winter, your equipment is out of sight, out of mind, so you don\u2019t think to get it serviced\u2026until you need to pack for a trip. Of course, we do offer expedite services if you\u2019re a late packer, as some of us are, but why pay extra when you can get it done early?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Planning for the future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of our customers get on a yearly cycle. Every year, around the same time, they get their stuff serviced. It\u2019s a great habit to get into and even better if you can get that cycle moved into the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming Soon: Our point-of-sale providers have informed us that they are rolling out automatic service reminders! Huge shoutout to DiveShop360, as we\u2019ve had a great time working with them and are excited to offer this to our customers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
