- **Event Description**: Ever been one O-ring away from missing the dive of a lifetime?


We’ve all seen it: a leaky inflator, a "hissing" tank valve, or a broken fin strap right as the boat is about to leave. Don’t be the diver stuck on the deck, be the one with the solution!


This isn't just a "how-to" session; it’s a deep dive into the heart of your life-support system. Whether you’re a gear junkie or just want to feel more confident with your kit, this course is your backstage pass to the world of scuba engineering.


What you’ll master:
•	The "Invisible" Inspection: How to spot a failing regulator or a dry-rotted hose before it becomes a problem.
•	The Anatomy of Air: Ever wonder what the inside of a Balanced vs. Unbalanced 1st stage actually looks like? We’re opening them up!
•	 Field Surgeon Skills: Learn the "Save-a-Dive" kit essentials to fix common gear gremlins at the surface.
•	The Science of Storage: How to treat your suits, tanks, and computers so they last for decades, not just seasons.


Why take this course?
1.	Save Money: Learn how proper maintenance prevents expensive, "emergency" repairs.
2.	Dive Safer: Understand the physics of why your gear works, so you know exactly what to do if it doesn't.
3.	Be the Hero: Become the diver everyone turns to when a gear glitch threatens the group's dive!


What to bring:
•	Your gear. We will review it with you, and answer any questions.
•	Pen and paper to take notes.
•	Water, snacks and lunch.


Cost is $225 and you will receive the SDI Equipment Specialist certification. Please email tim@ottawascuba.ca to register. Spaces are limited.
