Specialty Instructor Equipment Techniques

The Equipment Techniques Specialty Instructor program is designed for instructors who wish to provide in-depth, hands-on training in the use of diving equipment, assuming that you are familiar with the care, function and basic maintenance of diving equipment. Experience in regulator revision is an advantage, but not a prerequisite. The program is not a technical maintenance or service training course, but a training course for the structured transfer of equipment knowledge. The Specialty Instructor candidates work through the existing course material independently. We provide additional support in the form of didactic tips and additional materials that help to prepare equipment topics in a way that is understandable, relevant to safety and appropriate for the target group. On this basis, you create your own course plan for the Equipment Techniques Specialty. The aim is to select meaningful content, set a practical focus and combine theory with everyday applications. The Specialty Instructor Seminar takes place as a live webinar. It is based on the candidates' course plans, which are discussed and further developed together. In addition, practical exercises, training approaches and ideas that have proven their worth in everyday training and can be meaningfully communicated are collected and classified. The aim is to provide training that enables divers to better understand their equipment, handle it responsibly and recognize problems at an early stage - without claiming to be a technical service course.
