PADI EQUIPMENT SPCIALTY COURSE...IS IT WORTH IT?

Don’t miss a dive due to a scuba gear is- sue. Whether it's a blown O- ring, regulator problem, tear or a broken fin strap, you can learn how to manage basic scuba equipment adjust- ments.

As a PADI Equipment Specialist, you are prepared for the basic scuba equipment maintenance, care and adjustments you'll encounter every day. In addition, you'll learn interesting background information about how your gear works, how it’s repair and other information that helps you with your equipment investment.

Additionally, if you don’t already have your PADI Advanced Certification, this course counts as one of your dives. More importantly this course counts toward a specialty needed for your Certifica- tion. THIS TRIP CLOSES AT THE END OF THE WEEK. PADI Equipment Specialty - How does it work?

To enroll in the PADI Equipment Specialty course in Bali, you must be a PADI Scuba Diver (or qualifying certification from another organiza- tion). No dives are required, so you can take the Equipment Specialist course any time of the year.

With the PADI equipment specialty course you will come to our where our Instructor will go through the following with you:

• Review the theory, principles and operation of equip- ment

• Learn about routine, recommended care and maintenance proce- dures, and equipment storage

The which means that there are no dives included in the course. reduced percentage of nitrogen CALL TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT in recreational nitrox allows di- vers to extend their no- limits(or dive time) by reducing nitrogen ab- sorption– the less nitrogen there is in a diver's gas, the slower his nitrogen ab- sorption will be at a given depth. For example, according to the NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Associa- tion) no-decompression dive tables, a diver using Nitrox 36 (or NOAA Nitrox II) may stay up to 50 minutes at 90 feet of sea water, while a diver using air may only stay a maximum of 30 minutes at this depth. 2. Shorter Surface Intervals: A diver using nitrox absorbs less nitrogen for a given depth and dive time than a diver using air. This means that the nitrox diver has less nitrogen to off- gas during a surface interval, which can shorten the re- quired surface interval drastically. For example, a diver us- Eon Core Wrist Dive ing Nitrox 32 (NOAA Nitrox I) can repeat a 50 minute dive to Computer with Transmitter 60 feet after 41 minutes, while a diver using air must wait a and USB minimum of 8 hours to repeat the same dive (using to NO- AA's no decompression dive tables). the compact Suunto EON Core is a great dive companion.
