Over two days at Mercers Lake, you will undertake four open water dives designed to refine your scuba skills in a real-world setting. On the first day, you will start with a thorough briefing covering dive plans, safety protocols, and the schedule for the day. The initial dive will focus on acclimatising to the lake environment, practising buoyancy control, and performing basic scuba skills. The second dive will build on these skills, introducing underwater navigation exercises and further buoyancy practice. Throughout these dives, you will explore various parts of the lake, encountering fish species like perch, pike, and carp, as well as unique underwater features. The second day begins with more advanced exercises, including emergency skill assessments and further navigation tasks. You will explore deeper sections of the lake, which will help build your confidence and control underwater. The final dive consolidates all the skills learned, featuring a tour of the lake's attractions such as the front of a Cessna plane and the underwater forest.
