Looking for...

Post by JohnsIsland »

My laptop hard drive and external backup hard drive crashed within a week of each other :angry: , and I lost all my contact info. While those are not dive gear, they did have contact info for the guy who I used to overhaul my antique Scubapro Mark V (I think) first stages, and Balanced Adjustable second stages. I am hoping someone knows how to contact the place I used.

Honestly, what I remember is he is located north of Seattle, and his mailing address has highway in the street portion of the address. He may own a dive shop in Port Angeles or nearby vicinity. I found him through a defunct dive shop located in Yakima. Anybody have any idea of whom I am thinking of? He seems to be a very through type person, which I appreciate. He is not a Scubapro dealer, as far as I know.


It's my first time posting on this board. Certified back in the early 90’s and then didn’t dive for a while. Took a refresher last year. Living in Yakima makes it a little more difficult to spend time underwater. I want to move back to the green and watery side of the mountains, but right now the economy is making the move a bit tougher.

Thanks for any and all help finding this guy, given the very limited clues!

Perhaps this guy? He serviced my regs (Apeks) and did an outstanding job. He also has HWY in his mailing address, so he may be your long lost service tech.

Kalatin,

Thanks a million! You have really made my day. Thanks, thanks, thanks!

I thought he did a fantastic job as well. If anybody asks me where to have there regulator serviced, he would be the first name. I know there must be a few other excellent regulator techs, but it's so easy to go with someone who has history with me is excellent.

Thanks again,

Jeff

Quite a few shops subcontract with Don Peterson. I have sent stuff to him direct, he does a good job.

Well, as a diver you want someone working on your regs that you can trust to do it right. Don is among the best in the business. He services regs for something like 80 shops all over the Pacific Northwest ... as well as hundreds of divers like me who just send them to him directly.
