One of the most important reasons to take the specialty training is to get the feel for several different types of gear, and how to correctly use it. This will also help you decide what systems will meet your future needs.
Your goal is to obtain knowledge about the many advanced diving systems. These skills can only be obtained with practice and experience.
Would you go out on a few dates before deciding to get married?
Would you test drive a car before you spent a lot of money to purchase it?
So, why spend hundreds, or thousands of dollars for specialized equipment without knowing how well it works, or it can meets your diving needs.
Our training course is fun. It will also save you time & money, because you can actually use, and become familiar with the different types of equipment, and you get to train with it.
Some of this specialized equipment training is completed at the local dive sites, and other equipment requires the deeper depths of lake Travis in Austin.
