NIGHT
DIVER
Diving after the sun has set is an almost
indescribable experience that is always remembered. The nocturnal
life on a reef is uniquely different from life on the same reef
during the day. Octopus, stone crab, strolling lobster and sleeping
fish are just some of the sights to be seen on a night dive. The
colors are intensified by the artificial light from dive lights.

includes dive planning and preparation, procedures, techniques,
problems and hazards of night diving. The confidence gained during
this training will enable any diver to be comfortable in the water
day or night.
PREREQUISITE: Open Water Diver
CAVERN
DIVER
Cavern diving is defined as a dive conducted
within the light zone of a cave. The light zone being that part
of the cave from which natural light illuminating the entrances
is visible at all times. With proper training, confidence can be
gained to safely explore old flooded coal mines searching for articles
from the past or finding fossils embedded in the rocks of a cavern.
Air consumption management, reef handling and lighting are just
some of the skills taught in this specialty course.
PREREQUISITE: Advance Open Water
DEEP
DIVER
Many of the wrecks and ledges divers want
to explore lie beyond the 60' depth, which for a sport diver is
considered the beginning of Deep Diving. What?s so magical about
60 foot depths? Why should there be different procedures? How can
I go deeper without causing undue stress and strain on myself and
my buddy? Come learn the answers to these questions and much more
in DIVE ADVENTURES Deep Diver Course. This course will provide you
with the necessary skills and knowledge for deeper diving. It includes
planning, organization procedures, techniques, problems, special
equipment, buoyancy control and descending lines.
PREREQUISITE: Advance Open Water
SEARCH
AND RECOVERY DIVER
"Oh, no! I just dropped my new fishing pole overboard. Quick,
let's gear up and find it."

make the difference between a happy ending or the loss of a fishing
pole. Different search patterns will be shown to ensure full area
coverage. With the knowledge learned from the light salvage portion
of this course, a diver will be able to use lift bags and other
techniques to bring heavy objects, like anchors, to the surface.
Endless benefits are in store for the diver completing this specialty.

Certificate.

REVIEW
As those of you who are already divers know
- no matter how much diving we may do, it?s just not enough. Not
enough, that is, when it's something we enjoy so well. If you have
been away from the water for a while, DIVE ADVENTURES have a program
which is sure to make you feel like a fish the very first time you
hit the water. The DIVE ADVENTURES Scuba Review is a home study
guide, which allows you to review the skills and information you
learned years back. Along with it, your proficiency will be evaluated
in water as well as out. AND, of course, our staff will always be
handy during your update to answer any of your questions. An effective,
economical way to insure continued comfort in the water is the Scuba
Review course. It's fun and it's easy.
SKIN
DIVING LEADER
A Skin Diving Leader is trained and authorized
to independently teach and certify Skin Diver courses. Because of
the growth and popularity of such skin diving activities as snorkeling
and free diving this position may reap substantial benefits in and
of itself. Many Skin Diving Leaders offer such training exclusively,
while others look upon their rating as a step towards becoming an
Instructor authorized to train and certify scuba programs.
