ADVANCED DIVER
The ADVANCED DIVER Course consists of the following elements:
· 4 theory lessons
· 2 dry practical lessons
· 2 open water lessons
· Theory assessment
· 20 dives in range of conditions
The course has relatively few 'formal' practical lessons and is much
more heavily based on a further structured broadening of experience
in a wide range of conditions.
