I wanted to share some exciting news with you. Peninsula Dive Services is moving! These last 4.5 years at 250 Reservation Road were great. We grew a lot, making many friends and memories. But it's time we transition to a space that better suits our needs as we continue to grow and offer more services. That being said we won't be moving far. Our new address is:

455 Reservation Road Unit B, Marina, CA 93933

For the rest of this week we will still be at our current location (250 Reservation Road). We plan to move everything to the new space on Monday, April 6th. Our hours will remain the same at the new space.

While moving can be tough we have been working hard to ensure we can keep our turn around times and quality of service the same during this transition. We will reach out to everyone who currently has gear with us to ensure you know the exact location and status of your gear.

This new location will bring many exciting changes. We will share more about what we have planned in the future. But for now the first change we are excited to share is that our shop phone will now be a shop cell phone! This means those who prefer texting over emailing or phone calls can now text us. We can even bring our shop phone into the field during dive work for better communication. This change will happen next week when we officially move into the new space.

We thank you for your continued support and trust!

Boat cleaning is not for everyone. Sometimes you clean a boat but the boat does the opposite to you!

Boats in the Monterey Mooring Field and the Breakwater Cove Marina tend to have Caprellidae (skeleton shrimp) nesting on their hulls.

These little guys grab onto neoprene and they don’t let go. They also love to nest in beards and use them as a path to get under the neoprene. They certainly are itchy!

Call, email, or DM us about our underwater boat cleaning.

A customer brought an old reg in and was shocked that it wasn’t working after sitting in their garage for 15 years.

People tell us all the time “it hasn’t been serviced in X amount of years but it should be fine I’ve only used it twice!”

This is a very common misconception. The worst thing for your gear is to not use it. Regulators are sealed by pushing a hard, sharp piece of metal into a soft piece of rubber (seats). By not using the reg the seats are broken into way faster.

Some of you may have heard by now but PDS has not only a compressor, a tank fill containment unit, but also a bank system!

Safety is very important to us (it’s why Sam started the business) so we have filling procedures posted, safety equiptment at each station, and get regular air testing to make sure the air we test your regs, and fill your tanks with is is up to standards.

Tank pictures are always hard to take. But I had to share this. A customer brought a tank in saying that the air was tasting funny. They said that they had just gotten it hydro somewhere else.

Tanks can be tricky to work with. They can become rusty very easily. It’s always important for the technician to check the tanks after they are hydro’ed or tumbled.

After a quick tumble I was able to remove the rust and whatever chemicals where left in the tank (the white residue in the dirty pictures).

The middle picture is what came out of the tank after the tumble. 🤮

Someone can always do it cheaper… but don’t skimp on your life saving equipment. Make sure the shop that services your gear uses the original manufacturers replace parts.

These pictures show knock off parts (left) vs manufacturers replacement parts (right). It’s easy to see how much more the knock offs are worn down and corroded.
