Under the close supervision of qualified PADI instructors, participants will undertake a deep dive, which is crucial for understanding the nuances of deeper water environments. In addition, divers will engage in three additional adventure dives tailored to their interests, such as dry suit diving, underwater photography, drift diving, peak performance buoyancy, wreck diving, and the use of a surface marker buoy (SMB).

The immersive weekend experience ensures that participants leave with enhanced abilities and a greater understanding of the underwater world. Location The course takes place over two distinct sites. Mercers Lake is an ideal location for beginners and intermediate divers, offering a safe and shallow environment for practice. Here, participants can master skills such as dry suit usage and navigation. On the second day, the group will transition to St. Andrews, a deeper inland dive site that provides year-round diving opportunities in various weather conditions.

Participants should possess basic diving skills and be comfortable in the water.
