Do you want to know how to take care of your equipment better, so you can prolong its use? This will teach you how to buy quality scuba equipment.

Any scuba equipment is an investment, and we want to help you make a more educated purchase. This class will also educate you on how to properly clean, maintain, and store equipment.
