The Fun Part

The more you know about how your dive gear works, the more:

• Comfortable you are with it
• Performance you get from it
• You can care for it

What You Learn

• Learn about routine, recommended care and maintenance procedures, and equipment storage
• How to overcome common problems with equipment and recommended professional maintenance procedures (may include a demonstration of repair procedures)
• Gain simple suggestions for comfortable equipment configurations and an introduction to new gear (may include optional confined water dive to try new or unfamiliar equipment)

 

Prerequisites

• Divers must be at least 10 years old

The Gear You'll Need:

A basic set of scuba equipment and dive regulator, we can provide you this if you do not have your own gear, we will also be happy to help you purchase a set from a local supplier if you wish.

Your Certification Card

We will help you fill out the Personal Identification Card to be sent to PADI along with a passport photograph. We will also issue you with a temporary card that is valid for 90 days. That should be plenty of time to receive your shiny new certification card from PADI.

If you wish, at the time of sending the PIC, you can also request a PADI Project Aware emblem on your card, by making a small donation to this organisation.
