Regulator Service

We are now offering regulator repairs online. We decided to start offering these services due to the unreliability of local shops. We are offering quality service in a timely matter.

How it Works
1) Email John@Northeastscubasupply.com with the Make and model of regulator.
2) Fill out the Regulator Service Sheet with all the information
3) Send the regulator with the service form to

Northeast Scuba Supply, 539 North Trooper Road , Norristown, PA 19403

Here at Northeast Scuba Supply we take regulator service very seriously. We have a lot of customers that regularly do dives in the 240 foot plus range. Dives on the Doria or U-869 require regulators be in top quality shape. Many other shops just wipe a regulator down with windex and call it a rebuild. Other shops flip seats over, reuse O-rings or use the minimum number of new O-rings a Mfg. suggests and call this a rebuild. Not us, the pictures below show what every regulator we service looks like that’s in for rebuild. We replace EVERY O-ring in the regulator, SPG, and hoses. We have built a reputation as one of the best shops in the country for regulator service, especially for Poseidon’s. Poseidon’s are notoriously finicky to work on if you don’t do them regularly. We have people from Hawaii and Alaska, and all over the country send us their Poseidon regs. for service. Heck, we do such a good job on regulator service, most instructors from other shops in our area bring us their regs. rather than have their own shops do the work!

These are just some of the regulators we service, Apeks, Atomic, Aqua Lung, Dive Rite, Dacor *, Genesis, Kirby Morgan, Mares, Oceanic, OMS, Poseidon, Scuba Pro, Sea Quest, Sherwood, Tusa, US Divers, Zeagle. * As Dacor regs. are no longer manufactured, not all Dacor regulators can be rebuilt due to lack of available parts.
