- Have you ever wondered what the inside of your first stage looks like, well here is the inside of a piston (unbalanced) yoke style first stage.
We encourage all divers to have their regulators serviced and over hall, by a certified technician, per the manufactures recommendations.

Good video and I hope you keep it up. The world ( ... inc Australia ) is becoming so risk averse and paranoid ( often rightly) about litigation and corporate dominance of every facet of our lives. It's great to see old school/ed divers still happy to impart some basic knowledge. Thanks
You’re welcome frogsgottalent.
Thank you so very much I am a veteran instructor in fact 35 years I have been servicing regulators for many years but occasionally there are new styles coming on the market just your little tips have been very helpful keep up the VERY GOOD work it is pleasing to see the open approach to demonstrating different types of equipment overhaul hints etc
You are welcome, glad you liked the video.
EXCELLENT instructional video Bryan! Enjoyed your "no-hurry," methodical approach. Thanks very much!

You're welcome Rocky Hernandez, glad you liked the video.
thanks for all these vids!
You're welcome Ronin.
Thanks so much for sharing.. I don't think assembling regulators is in more dangers than driving (with everyone being distracted)
You're welcome Brian Z. Glad you liked the video.
What is the S/N of the 3rd hand and where can I order?
Thanks
Hello Fernando, the one I use comes exclusively in a kit from Mares. However, here are 3 that may work for you.

Are there ever any torque requirements or is it all just “hand tighten”?
Great question Scuba Bro. Typically, in the scuba industry, items that are sealed with an O-Ring, only need to be hand tighten.
Usually the yoke nut or din retaining bolt or the balance plug on diaphragm regulators have torque specs. The purpose for those specs is to stop people from over tightening. which people like to do. Do not over tighten!
Hello, Can you make a similar video with balanced diaphragm first stage?
Hello Eray K, let me see what we can do.
LakeHickoryScuba Thanks a lot.
What is a certified service tech? My husband is a divemaster and completed multiple service tech classes. He is also current with all continuing education training. But even with all this training, his training is invalidated due to him not working at a dive shop. What is the purpose of this rule and why are not dive shops in violations of numerous "right to repair" laws?
Hello Exploit the Childless, that is a great question. Typically, a service technician is someone who is trained by a specific gear manufacture. This training has to be renewed ever few years, depending on the manufacture, and for the most part only available to affiliated personnel at a training center or retail center. Most manufactures will have a 2-4 day training, that authorizes an individual to service that specific manufactures equipment. Anyone with a basic general knowledge of how scuba equipment works, can service their own equipment, but the availability of parts may not be accessible by the general public. The high liability that comes with equipment service, is the number one reason that equipment manufactures requires a person to be a trained service technician for profit. In regards to your last question, I would refer you to an attorney that specializes in "Right to Repair" laws, as we are a simple Scuba CZcams Channel, and we do not produce content on legal matters.
@@LakeHickoryScuba Renewed training for service techs has not been available for at least two years due to COVID. Clearly, no service tech has been to a 2 to 4 day class. My husband has attended numerous Microsoft Teams meetings/classes, where they have provided service notes and change updates. So if the service tech is upto date, why the requirement to be working for a dive shop?
Would you happen to know the size of the yoke nut ?
Hello Cody Coderre, for Mares, its a 25mm.
I gotta do a complete overhaul on this but I gonna just put it back together for u guys so in other words I'm sorry for having to charge anything over 20 bucks for a overhaul
Hello B.M. W, sorry to hear that you did not like our video, nevertheless, we appreciate you watching it and commenting.
maybe I can save 200 per every year spent overhauled cost. lol
Possibly.
