Specialty Courses

Specialty Courses are designed to build upon your Open Water Diver Certification Course. You can gain more theory and practice across a wide range of diving specialties and styles. These courses are voluntary and not necessary to complete. However, it is a good idea to continue your diving education and keep developing diving skills based on your preferences. There are certain specialties we always recommend to developing divers. These courses include Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diving, Deep Diving, Underwater Navigation, React Right-First Aid, Wreck Diving, Wave, Tides and Current, and of course the Advanced Diver courses. Having said that, several of these courses are necessary to complete if you choose to develop toward a pro-diver career in the future.

Technical and Decompression Diving

Going beyond the no-decompression limit: one of the greatest appeals of diving is the idea that you can escape into another world that is inaccessible to others. Going deeper and longer we can discover more stunning marine life and explore the secrets of deep wrecks. The expanded limits of decompression diving (with a much longer bottom time) greatly benefit divers of many historical or archeological dive sites located at depths between 30 to 40 meters. The decompression diving program met the needs of recreational divers who want to do a bit of decompression without requiring the rigors of training in Extended Range or Technical Diving.
