  1. Day 1

    Theory and first dives

    Self-reliance: redundant gas, personal dive plans and the judgement to call a dive when something isn't right.

  2. Training dives

    The training dives

    Each dive has one clear goal, briefed before and reviewed after.

    • Switching to your redundant gas supply
    • A self-planned dive within agreed limits
    • Self-rescue drills and SMB deployment
  3. Finish

    Certification

    Knowledge review signed off and your certification processed.

Boat days follow our daily schedule — 07:00 hotel pickup, back at your hotel around 13:30 — and the plan shifts if wind or sea conditions say so. Your instructor sets the final pace.

How deep will you dive?
