What equipment is required to run a scuba dive shop? I am not referring to the personal scuba gear (mask, fins, BC, regulators etc.) I’m referring to equipment for the maintenance & repair shop.
you will also need a helium leak detector to help you check to ensure none of your supplies are leaking. that would be dangerous to your customers. just think what would happen if a diver bought an oxygen tank that has slowly been leaking for weeks….. disaster right. btw, it is possible because that almost happened to me

All the shops have the basics: Shelves, some tools for repairs, and a compressor that can fill tanks. If you know of a dive shop that is near you that you can talk to, then do that.

One thing I look for in a scuba shop is definitely a tank compression system. If you can’t fill your bottles then you will loose 85% of the clients right off the bat. As far as basic tools for repair we will have to discuss personal certification to maintain regulators and tanks. It is good rule of thumb to have things like small screw drivers, rubber hammers and other little tools that can help. Contact me through my site and I can help you with tools you will need to maintain your own gear.
