Since your Open Water Diver Course you know that it is vital to service your diving equipment regularly and in time.

In Scuba Birds we consider the safety as the first priority that’s why we continually monitor our equipment: BCDs, wetsuits, fins, masks throughout the year and service our regulators every 3–4 months. Our scuba aluminum tanks are visually serviced once a year and hydrostatically tested every five years to Thailand Standards by highly trained specialists.
