Hog Regulator Service Technician Course (Virtual/In-Person Class)

TDI Hog Regulator Service Technician Course (Virtual/Hands-On): Master Your HOG Reg!

Want to take control of your HOG regulator maintenance? This TDI-certified course, taught by Dive Right In Scuba's Master Technicians, gives HOG regulator owners the knowledge and skills to service their own gear. Learn the ins and outs of cleaning, breaking down, and rebuilding your specific HOG regulator setup.

How the Course Works (Hybrid Format):

This course combines live virtual instruction with hands-on practice using your own equipment at home.

Virtual Classroom: Join our Master Technician via Zoom for a comprehensive presentation covering HOG regulator specifics, service procedures, and best practices. (A link will be sent before class).
Hands-On Practical: Following the virtual session, you'll perform the actual service (breakdown, cleaning, assembly, tuning) on your HOG regulator under the real-time virtual guidance of the instructor. A functioning camera linked to your Google account is required for the instructor to observe and assist you during this practical phase.
