Who should take this course?
Stuff breaks. O-rings go missing. Fin straps snap at the worst possible moment.
This course is for divers who are tired of small gear issues turning into missed dives.
The Equipment Specialist course teaches you how your gear actually works, how to take care of it, and how to fix the common problems that pop up before and after a dive.
If you’re the kind of diver who wants to be more self-sufficient, more prepared, and less dependent on luck (or duct tape), this course is for you.
- You want to understand your gear instead of just using it
- You want to handle small issues without ending the dive day
- You like knowing how things work, not just hoping they do
You must be at least 10 years old and certified as a PADI (Junior) Scuba Diver or higher.
What will you learn?
This is a hands-on, practical course focused on real-world gear knowledge.
- Routine care and maintenance that actually extends the life of your equipment
- How to identify and fix common problems before they ruin a dive
- Proper cleaning and storage so your gear doesn’t slowly fall apart
- Basic repairs like o-rings, straps, and simple adjustments
- How different pieces of gear work together as a system
This is not about becoming a technician. It’s about becoming a smarter, more capable diver.

I’ll also have additional examples and components available so you can see and handle different configurations and common problem points.

No dives required, but we cover a lot of useful, real-world material that will immediately improve your diving experience.
