Usually I just go for Bos forks and shock, however new bike is a 29er and for now they don't do a 29er fork.

I've decided I'm going with a 2013 fox 34 ctd float and a ctd rear shock.

Now before I start using them I want to get them tuned so I can at lease get rid of some of the 'dive' in the front fox.

Who is good for suspension tuning?

Why dont you try riding it first, then deciding if you feel it needs "tuning".

One mans dive is anothers small bump sensitivity.

If you dont ride them first you wont be able to set up the sag to suit. Thereby making "tuning" a bit hit and miss.

I already have a set of 34 floats on another bike. So I'm going to base my desires on this. I'll speak to loco

I would start by tuning the air spring volume yourself. Probably best in decend which will be the most open. Get the sag, small bump and mid support as close to perfect and then see if you have to tune the damper. Spending time doing this will help you give the tuner the exact changes to the character of the fork you require.
