Pushing the limits of recreational diving requires both skill and confidence. This course prepares you for dives up to 40 metres, with practical experience across diverse open water environments. You’ll learn advanced safety, planning, and navigation techniques while gaining hands-on deep diving practice.
Sessions are fully focused on open water diving, with four progressive dives to introduce and consolidate skills at depths up to 40 metres. Each dive builds confidence, safety awareness, and technique under instructor supervision.
During the dives, you will practise navigation, gas management, buoyancy control, and emergency drills. Instructors provide immediate feedback to refine skills and build comfort at depth.
The final dives integrate all previous skills, allowing you to confidently plan and execute dives to 40 metres while safely managing yourself and a buddy.
