Equipment Care and Maintenance:

Discover the art of equipment maintenance. Properly cleaning, storing, and maintaining your gear ensures its longevity and reliability. You'll also learn how to perform basic equipment repairs, increasing your self-sufficiency as a diver.

Dive Computer Familiarity:

Dive computers have become indispensable for modern divers. This course introduces you to these essential tools, teaching you how to read and understand their data, plan dives using dive tables, and utilize them for safe diving.

Troubleshooting and Emergency Procedures:

Equip yourself with the knowledge to identify and address equipment malfunctions or issues that may arise during a dive. Understanding troubleshooting techniques and emergency procedures is vital for ensuring dive safety.

Course Prerequisites:

  • Open Water required (for the full specialty certification).
  • 10 years or older
  • We are doing our part to try and reduce plastic use, so all of our certifications will be digital. If students would prefer a physical certification card, then they may pay to have one at the time of certification.
