7 Seas in Vancouver services Scubapro, it's a good shop. I have Apeks regs and Dave Ishmael at Tigard Underwaterworks does my regs. Dave is a great reg tech, I will use him as long as he is around. He does great work and I would say that he is one of, if not the best reg tech in PDX.

unfortunately, UWW in Tigard does not service Scubapro regs. Seven Seas in Vancouver is your best bet.

You can always try getting them serviced by one of the best techs in the NW - Don Peterson. You just mail them to him. (he lives in Port Angeles according to his website)

I use Don, he does good work with a decent turnaround time for me. Never had an issue except with some backordered parts once (not his fault).

+100 for Don... I send TON's of reg's his way... have been doing so for nearly 10 years and have yet to have any issues. He's a top shelf tech.

I stumbled into Dons shop one day and was very impressed. He took me into the back and showed me his work area and all that is involved. He talked my ear off, and struck me as a truly nice, caring guy/reg tec.
