Decompression Diver Speciality
Course
This programme contains 8 dives (mainly
wrecks) of varying depths and conditions.
Dive
One The Spit
This dive will introduce you to the
concept of carrying a sling cylinder with your twin set, covering such
points as weighting and emergency procedures. You will also be exposed to
working with reels and running lines under adverse conditions.
Dive
Two The Itatia
This wreck sits in a maximum of 9m of very
dirty water in middle harbour. The site is used to give the student an
insight into a large-scale wreck (65m long) with multiple deck levels and
very adverse visibility conditions. You will be taught to follow a line
in and out of the deck levels and over and under the beams and wreckage.
This is a very interesting introduction to a true wreck environment.
