PADI Equipment Specialist
Know Your Gear. Dive with More Confidence.
Most divers use their equipment every weekend but have no idea how it actually works. The PADI Equipment Specialist course changes that. In one practical session at Sugar Land Dive Center, you'll get hands-on with your scuba gear — learning how to care for it, maintain it, and make minor adjustments and repairs yourself.
This is one of the most practical specialties you can take, and at $125 it's one of the most affordable.
