1. THEORETICAL PART

The theory is made in a  Online platform and we can do it at home before you come to do the practice part.

It´s composed of 5 topics, where the principles, procedures and general diving information are established.

Once reviewed the 5 subjects with your instructor will proceed to a final exam (Here with us) to be able to evaluate what has been learned.

All these knowledges will be review with us once you are doing the pool sessions.

2. PRACTICAL PART (POOL OR CONFINED WATER)

This section seeks to reinforce and complement what has been learned in the theory and get closer to the diving equipment, doing activities in shallow waters.

Normally this section is done in two days (2 hours each day) in the case that the student needs more hours, it will be the instructor who will let him know.

We have the possibility of doing the pool part in El Palmar or Tarifa, and at the end of the pool session we will do a theory session for reminding all you have studied at home 🙂

3. DIVES IN THE SEA

In this section there will be 5 dives in the open sea, from shore or boat according to the sea conditions. The techniques learned in the pool will be repeated, adding some new exercises and gradually increasing the dive depth.

These 5 dives will be distributed in 2 or 3 days, depending of your availability and sea conditions, and we will do them in Tarifa.
