Equipment Repair - Tank Inspection
We stock many spare parts for the rest of your equipment: mask straps & buckles, fin straps & buckles, snorkel keepers, spare light bulbs, o-ring kits, hoses, computer batteries, silicone lube, aqua seal, iron mend and lots more. Our repair staff can help you with many of these simple repairs and recommend what parts you should carry in a spare parts kit. All scuba tanks require a hydrostatic test every five years, a visual inspection (internally & externally) every year, and all aluminum tanks must have their neck tested for cracks (Visual plus, eddy current test). Valves are recommended to be serviced every five years. Your tank is inspected by one of our P.S.I. certified staff to P.S.I. or Luxfer standards. The air that we breath as a diver is probably one of the most frequently over looked components of a safe and enjoyable dive.

Air & Nitrox Fill Station Baltimore MD - At Aqua Ventures, we take the breathing gas you use, whether air or nitrox, seriously. We maintain our filter and compressor system regularly and have our air tested on a regular basis to ensure it is grade E or better. The results are then proudly displayed next to our fill station. Our system has a storage capacity of 2700 cubic feet of compressed air and 1800 cubic feet of nitrox (EAN32). Tanks can be filled as high as 4500 psi if rated to that pressure. We produce our nitrox using a membrane system which starts with grade E air and removes nitrogen from it to produce up to 40% Nitrox. Most all air or nitrox fills can be done quickly while you wait. If you are bringing in a large amount of tanks to be filled, please call ahead so we can make sure our banks are full when you arrive.

Aqua Ventures is located on York Road, ½ block North of Padonia Road intersection in the York Village Shopping Center in Cockeysville Maryland just minutes from 695 Baltimore Beltway and Rt 83.
