Before the session, each student should read the Deep Diver manual to get familiar with the basics of deep diving.

During this interactive session, we will review the key theoretical concepts, including:

  1. Safe planning for night dives.
  2. Specialized equipment: dive lights, markers, and backup tools.
  3. Navigation and orientation techniques in darkness.
  4. Light communication and hand signal systems.
  5. Observing and understanding nocturnal marine life behavior.

 

We will also hold a Q&A and planning session to coordinate the logistics for the ocean dives, transportation, gear preparation, dive sites, and safety protocols.

  • Day 2 – Playas del Coco, Guanacaste

You’ll complete three open water dives, each focusing on developing specific deep diving skills:

  1. Deep dive (24–30 meters / 80–100 feet): Practice depth control, time management, and buoyancy while applying deep diving safety procedures.
  2. Advanced buoyancy dive: Fine-tune your breathing, body position, and weighting to achieve perfect neutral buoyancy.
  3. Night dive: Using your dive light, you’ll explore the underwater world illuminated by beams of light, observe nocturnal marine life, and practice navigation and communication in limited visibility.
