With Waves, Tides, and Currents, this advanced specialty course covers a whole range of new skills for scuba divers and increases your comfort level in more challenging dive conditions. This course is very useful, as many of the world’s most beautiful dive sites are also the most dangerous, especially with stronger currents. This course covers four dives over two days, and we can extend it if you are staying in Oahu longer.

 

First, you will learn dry skills like examining currents from the surface, analyzing tide charts, and planning dives in strong currents. Next, you will apply these skills underwater, safely incorporating them in four challenging dives. Finally, you will incorporate these new skills on a dive. Some examples are making a negative entry, safely planning and making a drift dive, and deploying an SMB while drift diving. After this, you’ll be a stronger and smarter diver that can more easily handle rougher conditions and more challenging dives.
