Your quest to become a Master Scuba Diver doesn't have to stop due to bad weather or cold water.
Try the PADI Equipment Specialist course this December and you'll add one more notch to your Master Scuba Diver belt without even sticking your toe in the water. During the Equipment Specialist course you'll learn how to properly maintain your dive gear and how to solve common equipment problems. By the end of the course, you'll be able to maximize the lifespan of your gear, and be less likely to miss a dive due to a simple equipment problem.
You can become an Equipment Specialist in as little as one day. It's a fun class and a great way to learn about the "care and feeding" of your gear while hanging out with other divers. PADI will send you a free Submersible Certification Card (value $35 US) when you enroll in a PADI Equipment Specialist course this December and purchase the all-new Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving.
If your winter plans include a trip to warmer water, don't forget you can still earn free gifts for completing PADI specialties even when you're away from home. Check out the 2006 Specialty of the Month calendar to find out what specialties (and free gifts) you can earn before the spring thaw.
