Do you really know the condition of your scuba cylinder on the inside?

Would you like to be able to inspect and maintain it yourself, but don’t know how?

Do you work at a dive center or filling station and need to thoroughly understand the regulations and proper procedures?

This is the course for you!

It can be completed online or in-person.

The course is led by Franjo Sánchez, a technician with over 20 years of experience in scuba equipment maintenance. He has trained professionals from dive schools, dive centers, and public safety units. In this course, he provides practical and rigorous training on how to perform visual inspections, maintain valves, and comply with current legislation.

This course is ideal for divers with their own cylinders, staff at filling stations, or anyone looking to expand their technical skills in equipment maintenance.

This course does not provide official certification as a Visual Inspector, but it gives the technical foundations necessary to work in this field and gain an in-depth understanding of the new Spanish Royal Decree on cylinder inspection.
