Technical Regulator and Drysuit Servicing in the UK

Salt-crusted stage regulators. Creeping IP. Fizzing SPGs. Drysuit seals starting to perish. Sticky inflators. Damp cuffs that weren’t damp last dive.

Modern equipment is resilient. It will tolerate quite a lot. But regular servicing keeps it working properly, extends its life, and avoids small problems turning into inconvenient ones.

Wreck and Cave now focuses primarily on technical diving equipment servicing, as well as what we’ve always done, GUE diving, community and projects.

If you dive twinsets, stages or cold UK water, your equipment matters. And how it is maintained matters just as much.

 

Regulator Servicing

We provide professional regulator servicing in the UK, with particular experience in:

  • Apeks regulators
  • Halcyon regulators
  • Twinset configurations
  • Stage and decompression regulators
  • Cold water setups

When your regulators arrive, we record hose routing and port configuration so everything goes back exactly the way you dive it.

Each regulator is fully stripped, ultrasonically cleaned, rebuilt with genuine service kits, and tuned within manufacturer tolerances. Intermediate pressure and cracking effort are set appropriately for how you actually use the regulator — including DPV use and stage configurations where relevant.

Turnaround is typically five working days and often quicker. If you’re on a deadline, let us know.

Rental regulators are available if additional parts delay completion.

Drysuit Servicing & Repairs

A drysuit that leaks slowly will eventually leak properly. And usually at the worst moment.

We offer drysuit servicing and repairs including:

  • Neck seal replacement
  • Wrist seal replacement
  • Zip replacement
  • Leak testing and location
  • Inflator and dump valve servicing
  • General inspection and preventative maintenance

If your suit is being used regularly in UK cold water, preventative maintenance makes a noticeable difference to reliability.

As with regulators, the aim is simple: equipment that works properly when you need it.

GUE Support

GUE training and methodology have been central to Wreck and Cave for nearly 25 years.

While we are no longer running regular GUE courses, we continue to support the GUE and wider technical diving community with equipment advice, configuration support, servicing, mentoring and referrals to active instructors.

Our approach remains the same: structured, precise and practical.

Based in Somerset, close to Vobster Quay, we work with divers locally and across the UK who are interested in GUE diving, interesting project work, better equipment choices and more reliable systems.

If you are looking to improve your diving, refine your setup or find the right route into GUE training, we’re here to help and guide you in your journey.

Why Wreck and Cave?

Wreck and Cave was built around technical diving.

Over time, divers increasingly asked for help with equipment setup and servicing. That side of the business has grown naturally.

Servicing is carried out in a dedicated workshop environment using proper procedures and calibrated gauges. Regulators and drysuits are returned configured and functioning the way you expect them to.

We don’t go in for gimmicks or pretending that o-rings and grease are somehow sexy and exciting. They’re not, but they do matter. So we’ll look after your equipment for you, make sure that it’s ready to do the dives that you want to do. That takes the stress away from you, leaving you to focus on enjoying the dives.

Based in Somerset

Wreck and Cave is based in Somerset, within easy reach of Vobster Quay and other South West dive sites. We support local divers with regulator and drysuit servicing, as well as UK-wide mail-in equipment servicing.
