Course Structure & Schedule The course comprises 2 main components : Knowledge development through self-study & briefings specific to each dive. Once a course is booked, we assign e-learning materials at the earliest to help you complete theory sections at your pace & convenience, prior to arrival at the dive centre. This is highly recommended as it also allows us to allocate more time for in-water training. 5 open water dives (called Adventure Dives) to practice & refine your existing skills. 2 compulsory dives : Deep Dive that trains you to safely explore depths up to 30 meters (21 meters for 12-14 years old), Underwater Navigation Dive which hones your ability to use a compass & natural references. 3 elective dives tailored to your interests & local conditions. We'll be happy to help you select the right ones from the available options including : Enriched Air Diving, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Drift Diving, Fish Identification, Underwater Photography & more. We recommend that you visit us at the dive center a day before starting your course to complete paperwork, & get yourself fitted for the equipment you will be using for the next few fun-filled days! Additionally, in case you have not dived in over 6 months, we recommend that you sign up for a skill refresher session prior to starting the course.
