Skills are built progressively, with each dive reinforcing and expanding on previous learning. Rather than sampling unrelated specialties, training focuses on developing depth capability, control, and judgement that applies across all future diving. If you choose the RAID Advanced 35 pathway, the course centres around six structured dives. Training begins with a refresher and in-water assessment to confirm your baseline skills before progressing into deeper diving, buoyancy refinement, navigation, and rescue-focused workshops. All elements are cumulative, and certification is only awarded once every component is performed to the required standard. The SDI Advanced Adventurer Diver If you are now ready to expand your knowledge but would like to see what is out there first, then the SDI Advanced Adventure Diver course is for you! The SDI Advanced Adventure course will give you an overview of five different SDI specialties. Two of the required specialties are the Deep Diver and Navigation Diver specialties which are the foundation of continuing diver education. The remaining specialty dives you can opt for include: Advanced Buoyancy Control Altitude Diver Boat Diver Computer Nitrox Diver Drift Diver Marine Ecosystem Awareness Many more!

RAID Advanced 35 is a structured six-dive course focused on deeper diving, buoyancy refinement, navigation, and rescue skills. All elements are cumulative, and you must demonstrate mastery across every area to pass. The SDI Advanced Adventurer Diver pathway is a more general training program with 2 core subjects and 3 further taster subjects. ### Do I need recent diving experience? Recent experience is helpful but not essential. Every course begins with an in-water assessment to refresh core skills and identify areas to work on. If skills need attention, this is addressed before moving into deeper or more complex dives. ### How deep will I be diving? The RAID Advanced 35 course qualifies you to dive to 35 metres, with training dives progressively building towards that depth. Depth progression is controlled and only advanced once buoyancy, awareness, and control are demonstrated. ### Is this suitable preparation for rescue or technical diving? Yes. Both pathways emphasise control, awareness, and team diving, which are essential foundations for rescue and entry-level technical training. Many divers find this course significantly reduces the learning curve for future training. ### What equipment configuration is used? Training is preferably conducted using a backplate and wing with a long-hose regulator setup. This supports stability, clear gas sharing, and consistent skill execution. This configuration transitions seamlessly into more advanced diving if you choose to progress. ### How many people will be on the course? Courses are delivered one-to-one or with a maximum of three students. This allows detailed feedback and flexible pacing. Small group sizes are a core part of maintaining training quality. ### Will specialties count towards future certifications? Yes. ### Can the course be spread across multiple weekends? Yes. Scheduling is flexible and planned around your availability, weather, and learning pace. ### How do I get started?
