What does it involve?
YES! we do our open water dives off a boat!! When first learning to scuba dive, many students experience a steep learning curve with the excess gear - a 35 lb scuba tank, 30lbs of lead weight, a hood, gloves etc. is a lot of equipment when you are trying to learn in a unique new environment. When we teach shore dives, many students find it difficult to navigate the shores of BC with an extra 60+ lbs of weight on their back. Diving in cold water can be more challenging than diving in the tropics; as such, we do our best to eliminate unnecessary challenges for our students. Why learn in a drysuit? The diving in BC is cold: so is the top of Mount Everest. If you are properly equipped, you will have fun. Over the years we have found that teaching students in wet suits is not fun for us, or the students. To ensure our students are comfortable, we have brought in a full range of drysuits and undergarments to guarantee everyone stays warm and has a fun time learning how to dive. Course Format
