What the day feels like
What the session feels like
The session moves from concise instruction to close demonstration: an instructor describes correct washing and drying techniques, shows lubrication and O‑ring replacement, walks through battery replacement for a dive computer and flashlight care, then applies those lessons to whatever equipment a student brings for hands‑on examples. The pace is compact—built to transfer practical habits in a single sitting—and geared toward individual learning.
