Equipment Specialist
Want to know about how your dive gear works? Then the PADI Equipment Specialist course is for
you. This course familiarizes you with the operation and maintenance of your dive equipment. The
more you know about how your gear works, the more comfortable you are with it, the more performance
you get from it and the better you can care for it.
