AquaLung Equipment

Aqua Lung introduced the world to Scuba diving more than 60 years ago and is the worldwide leader in SCUBA diving equipment. Under brands such as Apeks, Aqua Lung or SeaQuest, they manufacture quality and high performance regulators, buoyancy compensators (BCD's), dive computers, masks, fins, snorkels, wetsuits and many more products to make your diving adventure safe and memorable.

More people buy Aqualung around the world than any other brand. However, no authorised dealer is allowed to sell it on-line.

AquaLung have a in-store sales policy meaning that sales of AquaLung product must be made in store by that authorised dealer to assure you the customer of professional support and product satisfaction.

When you purchase AquaLung products from an authorised dealer you are purchasing from trained professionals who are able to instruct you on the proper and safe use of that equipment. You will have the assurance of the Aqua-Lung manufacturer's warranty together with the "AquaLung" guarantee of customer satisfaction".

Peace of mind

Any Aqualung Regulator, BCD, and Alternate Air Source purchased from us, is also covered by the Aqualung "Lifetime Service Contract". This Service Contract is of huge benefit to you.

When you purchase through us, Aqualung will pay for all the parts required to rebuild your equipment to like it was out of the factory, every single year! You just pay the normal labour fee (the same Labour fee charged if you were paying for parts) and it is fully rebuilt, 1st stage, main 2nd stage, and alternate air source, plus your BCD inflator system, and all you do is pay the labour! This is great peace of mind for you, it means your equipment is perfect every time you pull it out of your bag.

We don't just change parts that need changing, we fully rebuild your equipment, to like it was out of the factory, every single year! And as long as you get it done each year, it will continue for as long as you own the equipment. That's right, it doesn't run out!

The one thing you have to do, is have your new equipment serviced one month either side of your purchase date each year. That's a two month period every year! The average cost of parts for a Reg is approx $130.00 per year, a BCD is around $45, and this is money worth saving! The Service Contract even transfers to Australia as well!

If "Non Aqualung Dealers" talk badly about this type of Service Contract, you can be assured it's because they can't offer you the same level of service and peace of mind. Scuba equipment is Life-Support Equipment. Buy once, Buy right, and you will never regret it.

We are proud to be New Zealand's top Aqualung Dealer, and one of the longest running Aqualung dealers in the world!

BUYER BEWARE!

Ensure the store you are purchasing from (whether it is us or not :-) has good backup, and that there is someone else behind them willing to help if needed!

As much as every dive store would like to say they will be here forever (we've been here since 1971!), over the decades, "every other store" in Auckland has either gone bust, or been sold and changed what brand they stock at some point! We have seen them come, and seen them go, & if the shop you spent thousands decides to import a different brand, would you still be able to get your gear serviced at another store? Do other stores recommend the same brand and get parts for it?

Believe it or not, there are stores parallel importing brands today, and refusing to sell parts to other stores! "So what" you say, "I can still get it serviced there". The problem is, this forces you to deal with them, and when they switch brand/model of gear they bring in next year, this will leave you unable to service your reg! You'll have to buy a new one.

Don't risk your investment, only deal with companies that have backup from importers!

We are seeing more and more horror stories like this, so we felt compelled to put a warning up for people shopping around for Scuba Equipment.

Scuba gear is "life support equipment".

A Regulator requires new parts from time to time throughout it's life, to safely deliver air without freeflowing. We sell both equipment that is covered by a "Lifetime Free Parts Service Contract" and gear that you have to pay for parts only when required.

Buying equipment like this isn't like getting a cellphone cheap! If a brand of Scuba Equipment is imported by a shop, when they change their mind, and stop bringing in that brand/model of Regulator, they won't bring in parts either!

That means you are stuck with a Regulator, that when it needs parts, (and it will sometime down the track) you won't be able to get them!

Without these parts, all you can do is buy a new regulator! We have sold regulators lately to people in this exact situation! Don't get ripped off like them!!

Give yourself some peace of mind, and buy equipment that is going to give you many, many years of service, buy from NZ's most trusted dive professionals - Dive Centre Ltd.
