Frequently asked questions
Why bother with this?
Gear failures rarely happen, but when they do — at depth, far from a shop — knowing how to handle them turns an emergency into a story. This is dive insurance.
Prerequisite?
SSI Open Water. Age 10+.
Will I learn to service my own regulator?
No — full regulator service is a tech-level skill done by certified service techs. This course covers field troubleshooting and basic preventive maintenance.
Should I do this before buying gear?
Yes — this course teaches you what to look for in a regulator, BCD, computer. Most divers save thousands by NOT impulse-buying after this.
Pairs well with which other courses?
Perfect Buoyancy (you'll diagnose your trim issues better) and Scuba Skills Update (refresh + new gear knowledge).
Should I rent or buy my own gear?
For < 10 dives/year, rental wins. For 20+ dives/year, owning a regulator + BCD pays back in 2 seasons. We cover the math (annual rental vs depreciation + service) in the course so you decide on data, not impulse.
