Want to learn more about how your equipment operates and learn valuable care techniques from a dive professional? Then check into the PADI Equipment Specialist program. You’ll need to be at least a PADI Scuba Diver.

During your PADI Equipment Specialist program, you'll familiarise yourself with the operation and maintenance of your own personal equipment. You may also be given the opportunity by your instructor to review new or unfamiliar dive equipment.

The program is not designed to be an extensive equipment-repair program, however, it does provide you with the following:

Theory, principles and operation of dive equipment.

Learn how your regulator works!

Routine, recommended care and maintenance procedures, and equipment storage.

Common problems with equipment and recommended professional maintenance procedures. (May include a demonstration of repair procedures.)

Simple suggestions for comfortable equipment configurations and an introduction to new equipment.

This course is a must for all divers especially those progressing to PADI Rescue Diver/Divemaster level.
