How It Works
- You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives – Deep and Underwater Navigation. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive refines your compass navigation skills and helps you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time.
- Next you will complete the eLearning knowledge development. You are only required to complete the sections for your chosen adventure dives
- Then it's time to get in the water! You will complete your 5 adventure dives with your Instructor. Before each dive you will participate in a knowledge review with your Instructor. There's no exam because this course is truly about having fun and gaining experience.
