Equipment Specialty Course
The purpose of the PADI Equipment Specialist course is to familiarize divers with the operation and maintenance of diving equipment. It is not an equipment-repair course. Training relative to the repairing and overhauling of equipment, except for very minor servicing, is not to be part of the curriculum. The goals of PADI Equipment Specialist training are to:
- Develop the student’s practical knowledge of the theory, principles and operation of diving equipment.
- Enable the student to perform routine, recommended care and maintenance procedures.
- Enable the student to store equipment properly.
- Provide students with simple suggestions for comfortable equipment confgurations.
- Introduce students to new equipment.
