Since Steve is no longer the owner I cannot recommend anyone service their gear at this Dive Shop…read more I overlooked one mishap a year before with this shop but this recent incident is unacceptable! I had my regulator serviced before my trip to the Seychelles, when they ( Choo Choo Dive Center) called telling me it was ready to be picked up, I asked what all did they do and was told replaced O rings and checked everything out. I replied great I will come and pick it up. I trusted them at their word and paid my bill. Being this is my life support having faith in who service's your equipment is a big deal. On my first dive I noticed one gage needed to be tightened and was leaking air if turned too much to the right on so of course I was cautious throughout that dive and showed my guide while under water so we could address leak back on land. The second dive is when everything went south. I dumped my air to descend and since I was a bit over weighted ( purposely due to a new 3 mm wetsuit ) I added a bit of air to level off and quickly noticed I had to dump air again and again I then felt my inflator vibrating and had to dump air constantly throughout the dive. I had the guide feel the hose to show what I was dealing with as watching my air I knew this was going to end my dive sooner than expected. When I got too low on air I called the dive. This was annoying especially on Nitrox as we had planned for much more bottom time. On the boat ride back we made certain to dump all the air out of the BC and left the tank on just to see how bad the leak was, by the time we were almost back to land the BC was about to burst. I then turned off the tank and was so embarrassed especially when I told everyone on the boat I had just taken my gear in for service before this trip. Anyway thank goodness for a well trained and equipped shop run by Blue Safari !!!!on Alphonse island. When we got back and rinsed everything I came back after lunch so we could examine my equipment. As we started looking at my regulator we immediately saw it was NEVER!!! Serviced!!!! In was so obvious by scraping my fingernail I could see a bit of goop on my nail and this was every connection. This is absolutely unacceptable!!! It it weren't for an absolute first rate dive shop and staff a trip that I had planned for for over a year could have gone much differently. I am posting this honest and severe review in hopes that Choo Choo dive center will never let this happen to anyone again. There's nothing more that I want to do than support my local dive shop sadly until they do better I will definitely be either going direct through the manufacturer or using Alpha Divers in Knoxville as they bent over backwards getting my children certified and are getting much better reviews. Grateful that my dive was saved and hope this posts saves someone else's dream vacation from ruin.
