This course introduces the procedures, terminology, and safety considerations that make boat diving efficient and enjoyable. Across two open-water dives, you’ll learn how to prepare for boat operations, organise your equipment, and use lines and SMBs correctly. Key Details ⚓ Course duration: 1–2 days Session duration: 4 hours Daily schedule: 08:30–13:30 Number of dives: 2 Minimum age: 10 years Prerequisites: PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver Depth limit: Up to your certification level Key Skills 🚤 Understanding boat types and layouts Stowing and organising equipment Back-roll, giant-stride, and ladder/platfrom exits Using mooring and drift lines Deploying an SMB from depth Managing seasickness and surface conditions What to Expect 🌊 Your instructor begins with a detailed briefing on boat layout, common terminology, safety kit, and procedures for entry and exit. You’ll cover how to prepare your equipment for a confined deck space, how to stow cylinders securely, and how to move safely on a moving platform. On the first dive, you will practise using mooring lines, timed entries, and standard boat etiquette—including positioning during gear-up and maintaining awareness of other divers. The second dive focuses on SMB deployment, navigation away from the hull, and procedures for ascend/descend lines. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident boarding, gearing up, and diving from a range of boat styles—skills that allow you to access a wider range of sites worldwide.
