It\u2019s not only nice to say goodbye to 2020, but also nice to welcome the changes and fresh starts a new year brings. AirTech is bringing in some new changes as well, including a new course offering. We\u2019re relaunching our <a href=\"\/intro-tech-course\/\">AirTech Introduction to Regulator Service Course<\/a> and offering several sessions in 2021!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our very own Technician Trainer, magnificent manager, all-around inspiring individual, <a href=\"\/staff\/shane\/\">Shane Briggs<\/a>, will be teaching the courses! Despite our enthusiasm and unbridled jubilation at the thought of educating our customers, Shane is a pretty chill guy. He will take the time to walk you through not only the breakdown and reassembly of several regulators but explain the theory behind their functionality and the application of their design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-2_SQ-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"698\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-2_SQ.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/?attachment_id=698\" class=\"wp-image-698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-2_SQ-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-2_SQ-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-2_SQ-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-2_SQ-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-2_SQ.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3826_SQ-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"696\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3826_SQ.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/?attachment_id=696\" class=\"wp-image-696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3826_SQ-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3826_SQ-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3826_SQ-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3826_SQ-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_3826_SQ.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-1_SQ-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"697\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-1_SQ.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/?attachment_id=697\" class=\"wp-image-697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-1_SQ-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-1_SQ-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-1_SQ-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-1_SQ-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IntroTechCourse-1_SQ.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is this course?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is an in-depth exploration of the regulators we use to go diving. Day 1 starts with the breakdown of a technician\u2019s tools and processes, what they use and how they use them.

Each student gets a set of demo regulators so that you can follow Shane as he navigates through several different first and second stages. This allows everyone to see and touch all the pieces that go into the regulator and understand the precise nature of being a regulator technician. With this understanding, you\u2019ll be able to see how much proper equipment maintenance can affect your diving and safety, as well as troubleshoot issues a bit better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tip\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"535\" height=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Filters.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Filters.jpg 535w, https:\/\/airtechscubaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Filters-300x253.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Example Topic: What types of damage can occur to a filter, how does it happen, and what will that do to a regulator&#8217;s preformance?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is this course not?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is NOT a certificate course that allows you to go home and disassemble your regulator.
