Ever been one O-ring away from missing the dive of a lifetime?

We’ve all seen it: a leaky inflator, a "hissing" tank valve, or a broken fin strap right as the boat is about to leave. Don’t be the diver stuck on the deck, be the one with the solution!

This isn't just a "how-to" session; it’s a deep dive into the heart of your life-support system. Whether you’re a gear junkie or just want to feel more confident with your kit, this course is your backstage pass to the world of scuba engineering.

What you’ll master:
• The "Invisible" Inspection: How to spot a failing regulator or a dry-rotted hose before it becomes a problem.
• The Anatomy of Air: Ever wonder what the inside of a Balanced vs. Unbalanced 1st stage actually looks like? We’re opening them up!
• Field Surgeon Skills: Learn the "Save-a-Dive" kit essentials to fix common gear gremlins at the surface.
• The Science of Storage: How to treat your suits, tanks, and computers so they last for decades, not just seasons.

Why take this course?
1. Save Money: Learn how proper maintenance prevents expensive, "emergency" repairs.
2. Dive Safer: Understand the physics of why your gear works, so you know exactly what to do if it doesn't.
3. Be the Hero: Become the diver everyone turns to when a gear glitch threatens the group's dive!

What to bring:
• Your gear. We will review it with you, and answer any questions.
• Pen and paper to take notes.
• Water, snacks and lunch.

Cost is $225 and you will receive the SDI Equipment Specialist certification. Please email [email protected] to register. Spaces are limited.
