Know Your Life Support
Ever wondered how a regulator works or what’s inside a scuba tank? The Equipment Specialist course takes you “under the hood” of your diving gear. It’s not a repair technician course, but it gives you the confidence to handle minor issues that could otherwise end a dive day.
At H2O Dive Center, we believe a knowledgeable diver is a safe diver. You’ll get hands-on experience with various types of equipment and learn the best practices for routine care to protect your investment.
