what should you expect?

Post dive briefings are an important part of the course.

theory

First off, there is no exam! Instead, for each speciality dive, you’ll read a short chapter on the pertinent theory and answer a few knowledge review question. Before each dive, your instructor will go over each answer to ensure that everything is properly understood as well as briefing you on any new conditions you may experience.

compulsory adventure dives

Five Adventure Dives are all that stand between you and this certification. The Deep and Underwater Navigation dives are required, but it is up to you to choose the rest. Your Deep dive will teach you about additional considerations to make when you dive to 30 metres and the Underwater Navigation module will introduce you to different ways to navigate your way around a dive site using a compass and natural navigation techniques.

additional adventure dive

Choose three additional adventure dives from the following that most interest you to complete the course: Night, AWARE Fish Identification, Drift, Search and Recovery, Enriched Air, Multilevel and Computer, Digital Underwater Photography, Wreck, Boat, Peak Performance Buoyancy, AWARE Coral Reef Conservation or Underwater Naturalist. We always strongly recommend Peak Performance Buoyancy, probably the most beneficial of all modules. Complete underwater obstacle courses, backflips, silly games and more as you perfect your buoyancy.
