Non-diving training?

As I move up the ranks of dive education, I find a new itch to scratch. I don't know/understand my gear well enough. I want to know how Hydro works exactly. I want to know what a VIP is. I want to learn how to clean/rebuild my regs.

I know there are classes/courses for this sort of thing. I would love to be aware of any upcoming future trainings on such subjects.

Forgive me if I posted this in the wrong forum. Happy to move it elsewhere.

If anyone does a class on clean/rebuild HOG regs, I'd be in for that.

As for Hydro and VIP, unless you are going to get a PSI certification and VIP your own tanks,there isnt much sense in a class.

I just recently completed a HOG regulator rebuilding class.

I just recently competed a tank visual inspection class.

Scott Christopher teaches these.

Scott's great -- I did my HOG regulator service class with him, and Peter did his gas blending/tank service class. It has saved us a LOT of money!

if someone is organizing a hog class, I'd be interested in doing it as well.

I can teach it almost anytime. It usually takes 2 - 3 three hour evening sessions to complete the course.

What happened to your web page? I keep trying to visit and end up at a page labeled Dead Planet. When is the next hog rebuild class scheduled. I am in serious need of it. I was on your wait list for a while now....

LONG Story on the webpage! Defied is rebuilding it for me, but it is a slow process to get everything back together completely from scratch.

Anyone interested in a class should just send me a PM or email me at scott@soundaquatics.com and I will put together some dates for you.

I'm on Atomics regs now. But I'm interested in learning tank VIP and valve maintenance.
