As
divers,
we
usually
find
and
stick
with
a
shop
we
like.
Over
years,
I've
made
a
few
shops
my
"Home"
shop
and
have
visited
hundreds.
By
far,
Aquatic
Ventures
has
been
the
best
overall
for
customer
service,
knowledgeable
staff,
equipment
variety
and
now,
from
personal
experience,
I
am
adding
training.
I
recently
took
the
specialty
class
of
Equipment
Specialist.
Kary
and
Ken
were
the
instructors.
Together,
they
delivered
one
of
the
most
thorough
and
exciting
classes
I
have
taken.
The
classroom
was
approximately
12
hours
spanning
2
days,
covering
from
basics
of
masks
and
fins
through
an
in
depth,
very
detailed
look
of
the
inner
workings
of
a
dive
regulator.
As
divers,
we
(hopefully)
bring
our
equipment
in
for
service
and
take
it
for
granted
that
it
works.
This
class
provides
and
entirely
different
perspective
on
equipment
functionality,
maintenance,
troubleshooting
and
repair.
I
would
recommend
this
class
to
all
divers
as
you
will
get
a
greater
understanding
of
your
own
equipment.
I
would
also
recommend
this
class
for
the
occasional
diver
that
doesn't
have
their
equipment
so
you
are
not
blindly
diving
borrowed
or
rented
equipment.
With
thousands
of
dives
and
dozens
of
certifications
since
Open
Water
in
1999,
I
was
deeply
humbled
by
how
much
I
didn't
know
about
my
equipment
prior
to
this
course.
