Repairs and maintence

It looks just like an engine, so anyone whose tried tinkering with a car or motorbike engine has a go at fixing it. When a car engine breaks down, the car drifts to a halt and usually no one gets hurt. If a compressor repair is incorrectly carried out, or the operator fails to carry out routine periodic checks of oil, filter condition and air purity, or even just situates a compressor against a wall in an inadequately ventilated small room... all hell can break use, ranging from pumping air with deadly levels of carbon monoxide, exploding and killing the operator, or just lazily pumping moist air into the owners scuba tanks causing internal corrosion that costs him a few $100's next time the tanks get a visual inspection.

The Dive Doctor specialises in the maintence and repair of all brands of breathing air compressors. Apart from being the agent for Alkin compressors we can also service and repair all brands of compressor and specialise in Bristol, Coltri-Sub and Bauer.
