The PADI Equipment
Specialist Course
Don’t miss a dive due to a scuba gear
issue.
Whether it's a blown o-ring, regulator problem,
wetsuit tear or a broken fin strap, you can
learn how to manage basic scuba equipment
adjustments.
As a PADI Equipment Specialist, you are prepared
for the basic scuba equipment maintenance,
care and adjustments you'll encounter every
day. In addition, you'll learn interesting
background information about how your gear
works, how it’s repair and other information
that helps you with your equipment investment.

works, the more
• Comfortable you are with it
