We love the DIY spirit. But when it comes to dive computers, changing your own battery is often a false economy.
Yes, you can buy a battery kit online. You can even unscrew the back yourself. But there is one thing you cannot do on your kitchen table: Verify the seal under pressure.
The O-Ring Gamble A single strand of hair, a grain of sand, or a pinched O-ring is all it takes to flood your $800 dive computer. The problem is, you won’t know it leaks until you jump in the water—when it’s too late.
The Chamber Test At Scuba Gear Service, every battery change includes a run in our custom water-filled pressure chamber. We simulate depth and actually press the buttons while the unit is underwater and under pressure. If there is a leak, we find it in the shop, not on the wreck.
Protect your investment. Let a pro handle the seals.
