    PADI EQUIP. SPECIALIST Worth It?

    I found it to be pretty much useless, It was more of a sales pitch. Most of the class involved going over basics you were taught in OW, and then passing around the newest equipment the dive shop had in an attempt to sell. BUT I got a pretty little card out of the deal!
