As a diver Mitch has been certified in Technical Nitrox, Decompression Techniques and Technical Wreck Pe*******on with NAUI. Always in search of improvement he logs both pleasure and training dives each year.

At Rec & Tek SCUBA Inc. we supplement all visual tank inspections of aluminum cylinders with a "Visual Plus" examination. A "Visual Plus" machine uses eddy currents to detect hairline cracks in the necks of cylinders which may be invisible to traditional inspection techniques. For more information on "Visual Plus" or eddy current testing visit Advanced Inspection Technology's website at www.visualplus.net. Rec and Tek's staff are certified tank inspectors and have inspected hundreds of tanks. carries most major brands of scuba and snorkeling equipment. Our qualified technicians, sales staff and instructors are able to meet all of your equipment and training needs. Our certified regulator repair technicians are factory trained for such brands as Zeagle, Apeks, Sea-Quest, Genesis, U.S. Divers, Dacor, Aqua-Lung, Sherwood, Oceanic, Aeris, Scubapro, and ISI.. The shop compressor is a 14 cubic foot per minute Bauer model. We use only high quality synthetic oil in the compressor, which is changed after every 250 hours of run time. At Rec & Tek SCUBA Inc. the quality of breathing gases we deliver is very important. We use three filters as well as moisture separators in our system to achieve Hyper-clean air, which is the cleanest air breathing. Our filters are changed every 200 hours and the entire system is serviced by compressor specialists. We have over 16,000 cubic feet of air on hand and are able to fill up to 12 SCBA/SCUBA bottles at one time including street side service from a 45 foot fill whip. Our system can deliver pressures up to 6,000 PSI. Medical grade oxygen is on site year round for your Nitrox, Tri Mix, and technical breathing gas needs. Our air is tested semi-annually by a Ministry of Labour approved laboratory to assure that the quality of air we are producing for SCBA, surface supply air tanks and SCUBA cylinders, meets standards. We take pride in maintaining our filling station and ensuring the air is as pure as it can be. It is after all the air we breathe too. We look forward to providing you with the highest quality service, and if we can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to call us at 905-385-0300, or email us at [email protected]

Today’s post is just a reminder to support your local dive shop. We know you can sometimes save a couple of bucks by shopping online, but your purchase helps your brick-and-mortar store keep their doors open.

You can’t try on wetsuits before you buy them online. You can’t bring your rig into an online store and say “I need a piece that fits with this piece. Can we make sure I have the right part before I buy it?”

We’re all guilty of buying stuff online (myself included), but when possible, try to drive to your local dive shop (if you have one close) and support them.

Learn how to scuba dive, it’s a great sport!
