Suitability

Who it's for

Who this program is designed for — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Certified Advanced Recreational DiversWell suited: the course requires Advanced Open Water (or equivalent) certification and builds on logged open-water experience.
2
Technical‑aspirant DiversIdeal for divers seeking formal training in advanced gas use and decompression procedures as a step toward technical diving.
3
Rebreather OwnersAppropriate: students who own rebreathers can integrate their units into the course; ownership is normally expected though rentals are offered.
4
Novices & Uncertified SwimmersNot suitable: minimum certification and proof of 25 logged open-water dives are required, so beginners without appropriate certification should not enroll.
