Our Master Scuba Diver package includes 5 Specialty Diver Ratings in the following areas and totals 12 great dives.

PADI Deep Diver: You'll learn deep dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques and hazards. You'll also put this knowledge to the test as you go on four open water dives that range from 18-40 metres.

PADI Enriched Air Diver: By diving with enriched air rather than standard air you can extend your no decompression limits. This means more time underwater. For example, if you dive to 15 metres on air, your no decompression limit is 80 minutes. But, diving on EANx36 gets you 220 minutes of no decompression time - an increase of 140 minutes

PADI Multi-Level Diver: Since there's so much to see underwater you'll want to make the most of your stay. You'll also get to see the various types of multilevel dive planners like the PADI Wheel and dive computers, as well as learn about multilevel dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques, and potential problems.

PADI Underwater Naturalist Diver: If you're interested in aquatic life then this course is for you. This course is an introduction to the underwater aquatic environment and will help develop safe and responsible aquatic life interaction techniques. You'll get an overview of the major aquatic life groupings, interactions and factual information that dispels negative myths.

Mastering navigation is one of the most satisfying steps in diving and also one of the most useful skills to gain.
