The PADI Drift Diver Specialty course introduces you to the coolest magic carpet ride you’ll ever experience. This course shows you how to enjoy rivers and ocean currents by “going with the flow,” staying with your dive partner, communicating with the dive boat and knowing where you are the whole time.

What you learn:

• Planning, organisation, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of drift diving
• An introduction to drift diving equipment -- floats, lines, reels
• Buoyancy-control, navigation and communication for drift diving
• Site selection and overview of aquatic currents – causes and effects
• Techniques for staying close to a buddy or together as a group

How to sign up:

• Call the shop to discuss dates and pay for the course 916-365-2410, or sign up for a date listed online.
• This course comes with eLearning and 2 open water dives
• eLearning will be sent out from PADI after the course is paid for. Legal paperwork will come through email.  eLearning has been shown to have up to a 21% higher retention rate for students. Complete this in your own time, anytime before the dives.
• Students also need to own their own Personal Gear.  A dive computer is also required for this course.
• Personal Gear Package: (Mask, Snorkel, Fins, Booties, Gloves) $50 credit towards this purchase for our students! These packages vary greatly, and should never be purchased online, as they need to be properly fitted by a Dive Professional, and need to be Life Support/Scuba Quality. We want to make sure your diving experience with us is #1! Any gear you purchase for your class that does not meet your needs or fit properly, will be exchanged for you, prior to your open water dives.
