Equipment Specialist

The PADI Equipment Specialist course is designed to familiarise you with the operation and maintenance of your dive equipment. The more you know about how your gear works, the more comfortable you will be with it and you will be better equipped to care for your gear to get maximum life out of it. You will also have the knowledge to make minor on-site repairs. This course is not intended to teach you how to service your own equipment.
