this isn't 100% correct - "You do not need to have taken the specialty course in order to teach it."

As an example - Nitrox. As another O2 administration.
You're right. Thank you. I should have said "In general, you do not need to have..."
I don't know whether it was a brain f*rt or juvenile onset Alzheimer's (at age 66).
 
Just to clarify;

Nitrox
Emergency 02 Provider
Semi-closed rebreather
Cavern
Gas Blender

These specialties require you to be certified at the specialty/diver level in addition to the Instructor level. Often they can be integrated during an MSDT prep.

If you don't take the Equipment specialty Instructor with a qualified CD, then you need to have proof of attending a manufacturers repair clinic attached to your Instructor application.
