Achieving Excellence in Diving is Possible
Diving should be effortless and fun. It is easy to think that rigid discipline or standards can make having a good time difficult. In reality, having proper discipline and a strong set of foundational skills is one of the only true ways to relaxation and freedom under water. Consider this, would you like to have the freedom to move in any direction underwater without having to use your hands? Would you like to be able to go up and down by merely changing your breathing? Would you like to have the confidence to plan, start, & end a dive safely and easily? Then consider that the Advanced Plus Course might be the way to achieving a sort of freedom that many seasoned divers have yet to find.
Learn about the highly optimised Backplate & Wing Hogarthian configuration, and learn about the need for simplicity. You will also learn how to set up and build a backplate & wing configuration from scratch then go out for diving in gear optimised just for you. This advanced course cuts away the unnecessary and focuses on a skillset that will take your abilities to a level worthy of the term “advanced”. Don’t let your new certification be a euphemism for “The Next Cert”. This course includes 3 extra dives to gain experience with your new equipment configuration followed by 5 standard PADI Adventure dives to qualify for the PADI Advanced Open Water configuration.
