It’s snowing outside, but we’re revving the scuba temperature up inside! 🔥 We’re proud to announce, we now have three Scuba Service Technicians Shawn, Jon, and Jacob are authorized to maintain and repair dive gear, regulators, BCDs, cylinders, oxygen service, and more across almost every major brand. We also want to show off our brand new state of the art service counter for annual regulator servicing needs. If you need your gear serviced, don’t wait until spring! That’s when the entire 716-scubaverse brings gear in and there might be a waiting line. 🤿🔧
