Service & Fills

Cylinder Fills:

Huron Scuba fills cylinders for certified divers and divers in training; we also fill for local companies that use low- and high-pressure SCBA systems. Our system provides hyper-clean oxygen-compatible air as a matter of course up to 4500 psi. We bank 32-34% nitrox, and can easily custom fill nitrox blends from 28% to 40% while you wait. We can fill 100% oxygen, 100% argon, and any helium blend for you to your rated pressure using our oxygen-clean Haskel booster.

Our containment fill station provides peace of mind and an extra margin of safety for our employees and customers.

Our Preferred Customers get discounts on air and nitrox fills.

Service:

Our factory-trained technicians put your equipment through a rigorous 37-step process (see below), from an incoming check, full service and parts replacement as recommended by the manufacturer, adjustment to specification, a break-in cycle on our breathing machine, and an outgoing check to ensure quality. All work is fully documented and used parts are returned to you with your equipment.

Our Preferred Customers get 50% off the normal labor rates for regulators and BCDs purchased at Huron Scuba, and discounts on other equipment services.

Several equipment manufacturers provide original owners with a lifetime service parts replacement program with documentation of original purchase from an authorized dealer and service at recommended intervals. Please see your warranty documentation for details, or ask when you drop off your equipment. Huron Scuba will make sure you gets these parts for free provided all requirements are met.
