The purpose of diving workshops is to strengthen and improve previously acquired skills, as well as to prepare a diver for future training, by improving diving techniques, solving problems, and dealing with failure that may occur during a course. Professional training allows a diver to eliminate potential shortcomings, unifying one’s routine in case of emergency during technical diving and improving quality and efficiency of diving and team work.
The range and topic of training is adjusted to needs and skills of workshops participants. Depending on what they need, we provide both theoretical and practical topics.
- Perfect buoyancy, correct balance, position in water (trim)
- Swimming techniques (breaststroke , modified breaststroke, helicopter, crawl, modified crawl)
- S-drill (safety drill) – excises in sharing breathing gases in case of emergency (a donor and a recipient)
- V-drill (Valve drill) – abilities of eliminating gas leaks (closing valves)
- exercises in case of losing a mask
- exercises in case of losing light
- exercises with stage bottles
- exercises in using a guideline
- using a surface marker buoy
