Regardless of your experience level, this course allows you to grow as a diver. Some divers are eager to begin incorporating the increased skill and academic demands of DIR but do not have the desire to become deep technical divers. This class is tailor made for a new open water diver who wants to know what skills they need to work on, or for the diver new to DIR who wants to learn more without the burden of passing a class.
In this course, students will conduct a minimum of eight (8) dives over three days. Each dive will build upon the skills learned in the previous dives. By the end of the course, students should be able to perform fundamental skills while neutrally buoyant and in good trim, while under small amounts of stress.
Tuition for this course is $400 and includes supplemental materials and certification fees.
