Scuba Equipment Service & Repairs
UB Diving provides professional scuba equipment service and repair on Vancouver Island, supporting recreational divers, technical divers, and professional divers throughout the Comox Valley and beyond.
Our lead service technician, Sean Smyrichinsky, has over 26 years of experience servicing scuba equipment, making him one of the most experienced regulator technicians on Vancouver Island. From modern regulators to older and vintage equipment, UB Diving takes pride in bringing life back to gear that many shops will not even look at.
That experience comes from decades of supporting recreational divers, technical divers, underwater photographers, instructors, commercial divers, expedition divers, and rebreather divers. UB Diving sees equipment from many corners of the diving industry, not just standard recreational gear.
Properly maintained scuba equipment is essential for both performance and safety underwater. At UB Diving we follow manufacturer service procedures and use quality replacement parts to ensure your gear is functioning exactly as it should.
Real-World Service Experience
UB Diving is not just a retail counter. We operate in cold water, technical diving, expedition diving, commercial diving, rebreather support, cylinder inspection, Nitrox preparation, and real Vancouver Island diving conditions.
That gives our service department a practical understanding of how equipment performs in the water, not just how it looks on a bench.
Broad Brand Experience
Decades of hands-on service work across a wide range of scuba brands, models, generations, and configurations.
Cold-Water Knowledge
Service decisions are made with Vancouver Island diving conditions in mind.
Older Gear Evaluated
Older and specialty equipment is assessed properly instead of being automatically dismissed.
Regulator Service
We service most major scuba regulator brands and models. Complete regulator overhauls include full disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, replacement of required service parts, reassembly, adjustment, and performance testing.
Regular servicing helps ensure reliable breathing performance and extends the life of your equipment.
Service & Repair Support
BCD and Inflator Repairs

Tank Inspections
We provide visual inspections and assistance with hydrostatic testing scheduling to ensure your cylinders meet required safety standards.
Vintage and Specialty Equipment
Many divers own older equipment that they trust and prefer to keep diving. With decades of experience working on a wide range of regulators, UB Diving is often able to service equipment that other shops may decline.
Nitrox and Technical Diving Support
Our facility supports Nitrox, oxygen-clean equipment service, and rebreather support, helping technical divers maintain their equipment to the highest standards.
Equipment Performance Matters
Regular servicing improves reliability, breathing performance, and safety underwater. Whether your gear needs a full overhaul or troubleshooting, UB Diving has the experience to keep you diving with confidence.
Straight Advice.
Proper Service.
Some equipment is excellent. Some equipment is not. Some older gear is worth maintaining. Some newer gear is not worth the hype. UB Diving gives practical equipment advice based on inspection, experience, condition, parts availability, and intended use.
The goal is simple: keep good equipment performing properly and help divers make better decisions about the gear they trust underwater.
