I said it was so easy a frogman can do it, not a mermaid. Of course it goes without saying that women should always send their regs off to Scubatoys.
Actually the regs my department dive team uses are shipped off to a company for annuals and there have been no problems with their repairs or price and it has a quick turn-around. It pays to shop around and ask others for the best price and service and not blindly take a reg to a LDS, who may or may not be the right place to work on it.
One local shop near me sends any regs they get off to a shop in NC and the shop tacks on additional charges to the customer who could have sernt it to the same place themselves at considerable savings.
I like knowing how my regs work as it allows me to notice problems before they get worse and do quick field repairs that have saved dives for me and my partners.
