Boat Diver Course

Boat

The world’s best diving almost always takes place from boats. Boats can get you to reefs and wrecks that simply aren’t accessible from shore.

Not all divers, however, are fortunate enough to be able to do their Open Water certification dives from boats. Even those that do cannot learn everything there is to know about boat diving during two days of open-water training. On top of this, every dive boat uses slightly different procedures — and general v\boat diving procedures can vary greatly from one location to another.

This is why specialized training in boat diving procedures is so helpful. In not only covers the general boat diving procedures that are fairly universal, it also covers the differences you may find from one region to the next, and from one dive boat to another.

Boat Diver training can save you time, effort (and embarrassment). And the best part is, you get to go boat diving as part of the course.
