THE COURSE

Five Adventure Dives, Focused Progression

The course is built around five adventure dives that broaden a diver’s competence and confidence; students complete the set over a two- to three-day period to deepen practical skills under guided supervision.

CORE SKILLS

Mandatory Navigation and Deep Dives

Two dives are required: a navigation dive to sharpen orientation and a deep dive to extend comfort and technique at greater depths—both are pillars of the advanced curriculum.

ELECTIVES

Choose from Night, Wreck, Buoyancy and More

Students select the remaining three adventure dives from options such as peak performance buoyancy, fish identification, underwater naturalist, wreck exploration or night diving to tailor the course to personal interests.
