Course Title: Advanced Diver
Introduction
Doing the SCUBA DIVER course in many ways only qualifies you to “licence to learn”. It provided you with the basic skills without necessarily making you a competent diver. We believe a diver is only competent once he/she has completed the ADVANCED DIVER course.
The intention with the ADVANCED COURSE is to make you a more independent as well as a more confident diver.
