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.Rec & Tek SCUBA Inc. 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 9.5 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 10,000 cubic feet of air on
hand and are able to fill up to 7 SCBA/SCUBA bottles at one time
including street side service from a 45 foot fill whip. Our
system can deliver pressures up to 5,000 PSI. Medical grade
oxygen is on site year round for your nitrox 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.
