Alpha Dive provides the Powell River area with high-quality, tested breathing gases. We adhere to a stringent maintenance program for our breathing air compressor, and air quality is tested several times a year. Results are posted in the shop for all to see.
We have an air storage bank of nearly 3000 cubic feet, so tanks can be filled while you wait (unless you bring in a LOT).
Nitrox is mixed on-site in mixtures up to 40%. We use Medical Grade Oxygen for our nitrox mixes and fills can usually be done within an hour or two. During the summer season when things are really busy, you may have to come back the next day to pick up your mix.
Prices (applicable taxes not included)
Air fill (per tank) $7.00
Air card (10 fills) $60.00
Nitrox (up to 40%) $20.00
Equipment Servicing
We service and repair all major brands of regulators and are a factory authorized warranty center for several.
What do you get when you get a reg serviced at Alpha Dive Services Ltd.?
First, we will test the reg to see how it is performing before we do anything.
Your reg is then totally stripped down. Most metal parts will be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner and plastic and rubber parts will be washed in warm soapy water, and inspected. Factory service kits are used for parts requiring replacement. The reg will then be reassembled, and set up to factory specs. Lastly it will be leak tested and performance tested on a flow bench. All performance info will be recorded and noted on your invoice.
Our service tech, Scott, has many years experience repairing life-support equipment. If you have any questions about servicing, call or e-mail him for more information.
