All diving brands that manufacture regulators, such as TDS, Scubapro, Mares, Aqualung, Cressi, Poseidon and Apeks offer the necessary courses and certification for allowing technicians to check them. Therefore, it is important that the regulators are checked in a reliable diving workshop, one which has been authorized by these brands and has certified technicians.

Prior to the start or end of the season, or before a diving trip, it is always advisable to check the equipment to make the most of each dive.
