WAVES, TIDES & CURRENTS Specialty

 “Have you ever dreamed of gliding with the current
and watching turtles, spotted eagle rays or dolphins swim
with you at the same time?“


Adequate training in current diving is they key to this kind
of experiences and therefore WAVES, TIDES & CURRENTS training is a must for
any ambitious diver.

Anybody who dives should know and understand how to handle water movements. This
can be the waves when entering from shore, or the rip current in a channel next to an
island, or the current on a drift or anchored boat dive.  

There are many things to learn about currents such as: If the current is blowing against
the diver, how much current can a diver deal with? How does the diver move effectively in
the current? How can somebody determine the strength of a current and plan the
dive accordingly? WAVES, TIDES & CURRENTS can help you answer all of these
questions. It is taught in conjunction with a minimum of 2 open water dives.
