Advanced Program

During the Advanced Program you will have the chance to try out 6 different specialties. You will complete one open water training dive per specialty in order to get a better understanding for each specialty area. The specialties may include:

  • boat diving,
  • computer diving,
  • deep diving,
  • drift diving,
  • navigation,
  • night diving,
  • marine identification,
  • perfect buoyancy,
  • search and recovery,
  • underwater naturalist,
  • underwater photography,
  • wreck diving, and others

 

No Exam. We often say this program packs about 2 years of diving experience into just one weekend. You get to sample 6 different specialty programs as each dive can lead on to a specialty course in that area. Your confidence increases considerably as each new diving environment is explored and carefully supervised by your experienced instructor.

 

And why is it our most popular program? No exam! 1 weekend! Up to 6 dives!

 

 

Course Format

One Weekend out on a Liveaboard (Saturday and Sunday)

 

Thursday (prior to your course starting) | 6pm - 7pm | BBQ and course briefing.

You will also have the opportunity to pick up any gear required for the course (torches, tank markers, slates) and any hire gear required (tanks, weights, BCD, regs, computer, etc.)

 

Saturday | 7:30am - 9pm | Day 1.

We will do 3 course dives on the first day including a night dive, with much needed meals provided by our friendly staff between dives. Course dives will be dependant on site selection and conditions. During surface intervals between dives (when you aren't eating) you are free to use your time watching dvds, sleeping, socialising, reading a book, relaxing in the sun, or whatever takes your fancy at the time. 

 

Sunday | 6am - 5pm | Day 2.

We will do up to 3 course dives on the second day and are usually back at the Marina by 5pm. Once again food will be provided between dives.

 

Thursday (after the completion of your course) | 7pm - 8pm | Graduation BBQ 

A great weekend finishes with you as a fully licensed advanced scuba diver and we invite you to celebrate with graduation drinks and a BBQ with your newly made diving buddies and friends. The only question left to ask is "Which specialty course should I do first?"
