The goals of PADI Equipment Specialist training are to: A. Develop the student’s practical knowledge of the theory, principles and operation of diving equipment. B. Enable the student to perform routine, recommended care and maintenance procedures. C. Enable the student to store equipment properly. D. Provide students with simple suggestions for comfortable equipment configurations. E. Introduce students to new equipment
