Equipment Techniques & Specialist Course
Become confident, capable, and comfortable with your dive gear.
Choosing and caring for your scuba equipment is one of the most important investments you can make as a diver. With the right knowledge and hands-on experience, you’ll not only get the most out of your gear but also dive safer and more comfortably for years to come.
In this course at Aquarius Scuba, you’ll work with experienced dive professionals to learn how your dive equipment works, how to choose the right gear for your needs, and how to prevent common problems before they start. You’ll also practice essential care and basic repair techniques so that minor issues won’t keep you out of the water.
This course is one, in-shop evening session at the Aquarius Scuba shop.
We recommend bringing your own basic scuba gear for personalized learning, though additional equipment will be provided for hands-on demonstrations.
