LATEST EVENTS

25thJuly

Are you a scuba diving enthusiast looking to take your skills to the next level? Well, you're in luck! The PADI Equipment Specialist course is here to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain, care for, and perform basic repairs on your scuba gear. This course is perfect for divers who want to become more self-sufficient and confident in handling their equipment.

What’s the Course All About?

The PADI Equipment Specialist course is a fascinating “dry course” – meaning no water sessions are involved. Typically conducted in a friendly, classroom setting over one evening, this course offers divers an opportunity to delve deep into the mechanics of their gear. There is also an online theory section, which should be completed beforehand. This preparatory work ensures that participants gain vital knowledge about scuba equipment maintenance and repair before diving into the hands-on portion of the course.



 

What Will You Learn?

In this course, you'll explore various aspects of scuba gear maintenance and repair, including:

  • Peeking Inside a Cylinder: Ever wondered what the inside of a cylinder looks like? You'll get to see and understand the inner workings.

  • Understanding Regulators: Learn how your first and second stage regulators operate. This knowledge is crucial for troubleshooting and maintaining these essential components.

  • Basic Repairs: Gain the skills to perform basic repairs on your dry or wetsuits. No more diving trips cut short due to minor gear issues!

  • Cleaning and Maintenance Tips: Discover the best practices for cleaning and looking after your scuba diving equipment, ensuring it stays in top condition for many dives to come.

By the end of the course, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of your scuba equipment, making you a more knowledgeable and self-reliant diver.

Why Take This Course?

Becoming an equipment specialist not only boosts your confidence underwater but also enhances your overall diving experience. You'll save time and money by handling minor repairs and maintenance on your own, and you'll be better prepared to deal with any equipment issues that may arise during your dives.

So, why wait? Dive into the PADI Equipment Specialist course and elevate your scuba diving skills today. You'll be amazed at how much more enjoyable and stress-free your dives can be when you have a thorough understanding of your equipment!

In March 2025 we will be heading off to the Maldives for a 7-day liveaboard doing the far South route which is one of, if not the best Maldives liveaboard dive trips for seeing large marine life. This trip will be on Blue Voyager with the dive tender Shadow departing from and returning to Kooddoo giving us access to the southern reefs and atolls.




The liveaboard will depart Kooddoo on the 5th of March 2025 and visit Huvadhoo Atoll, the world’s second-largest atoll, Fuvahmulah Atoll well known for its frequent sightings of large sharks and other pelagics, and Addu Atoll, known for year-round manta ray sightings, is also home to various sharks, turtles, and abundant marine life. This Atoll is also home the the largest wreck in the Maldives, the WWII tanker British Loyalty.


Here’s a video of the sort of life you could see on this trip to wet your appetite.




At 37m, Blue Voyager is a steel-hulled vessel that boasts three roomy double cabins and ten twin cabins. She features an indoor dining area, a bar, and a sky lounge, as well as a jacuzzi. A shaded outdoor lounge area can be found on the sun deck, plus viewing decks located at the front of both the upper and sun decks, an open-air deck on the sun deck, plus an ocean deck at the stern of the boat on the main deck, all providing comfortable seating and loungers.
