Most people are aware that Neptune was the Roman God of the Sea, but in reality he reigned not only over the sea, but over all bodies of fresh water. Neptune claimed all of the marvelous world beneath the surface as his realm. We chose the name Neptune's Realm Scuba Center because we have a passion for sharing this amazing world that so many never get to experience. We ask this question: "Why would you be satisfied sitting outside of the aquarium, tapping on the glass, when you can be a part of the spectacular underwater world?"

Services
Our repair facility offers service on all major brands of scuba equipment. Don't be "left out to dry" without properly serviced gear when you are ready to go diving. Keeping your dive equipment in top working order is essential! Protect your investment and your safety by making sure your regs, tanks and computers are current.
Regulators (parts not included)
All regulators brought in for service are handled by our factory trained technician(s) and are tested prior to disassembly to benchmark their performance. Regulators are completely disassembled; metal parts first are placed in a heated regulator cleaning solution in an ultrasonic cleaner, after a fresh water rinse they are placed into a heated degreaser/soap solution. Rubber and plastic parts only undergo the degreaser/soap solution. All parts are rinsed and dried. The regulator is lastly reassembled using factory authorized parts and adjusted to factory specifications. Annual service prepares the regulator for nitrox use.
