ASSET Technical Support & Consultancy

Real Support for Real Problems

In this industry, not every problem has a simple answer.

You might be looking at a cylinder and not be 100% sure if it should pass or fail.
Your compressor isn’t behaving as it should.
A regulator isn’t delivering properly under load.
Or something just doesn’t seem right.

These are the kinds of situations where guessing isn’t good enough.

Over the years, many technicians I’ve trained have come back to me with questions. I’m always happy to help where I can, but some issues need proper time, proper review, and a clear technical answer.

That’s exactly what this service is here for.


What I Can Help With

This service is aimed at technicians, dive centres, and operators who need solid, practical advice based on real experience.

Typical areas include:

  • Cylinder visual inspection and rejection decisions
  • Internal corrosion, pitting, and condition assessment
  • Valve threads (M25x2, 3/4 NPSM) and compatibility
  • Hydrostatic testing procedures and troubleshooting
  • Compressor faults, filtration, and air quality (EN 12021)
  • Air banks, filling panels, and system layouts
  • Regulator performance, servicing, and fault finding
  • Oxygen service and clean systems
  • Workshop setup and best practice

If something doesn’t look right — it usually isn’t.


How Support Works

Quick Questions

If it’s something simple and quick, I’ll usually point you in the right direction.


Technical Support

If it needs a proper look:

  • Photos or videos
  • Test readings
  • Step-by-step issues

I’ll go through it properly and give you a clear, usable answer you can apply.


Consultancy

For more involved work:

  • Ongoing faults or repeat issues
  • System design or setup
  • Standards interpretation (EN / ISO)
  • Equipment testing or development
  • Professional-level decisions affecting safety or certification

This is where we treat it properly and give it the time it needs.


About ASSET

ASSET (Association of Scuba Service Engineers and Technicians) is built around one thing — raising technical standards in the dive industry.

Everything we do is based on:

  • Real workshop experience
  • European and international standards
  • Practical, hands-on application

Not theory for the sake of it.


About Me

I’m Joey Ridge, owner of ASSET.

  • Over 40 years in the diving industry
  • Offshore commercial diving technical background
  • Senior dive technician (life support, compressors, many dive systems)
  • PADI Course Director
  • TECREC Technical Instructor Trainer

I’ve worked on everything from small workshop servicing to full offshore systems — so when something isn’t right, I’ve probably seen it before.


Important

If you’re making decisions about:

  • Cylinder safety
  • Pressure systems
  • Equipment servicing for others
  • Commercial operations

Then those decisions need to be correct.

This service is here to help you get them right.
