The course starts on Sundays, but you must arrive on the island on Saturday prior course begin. If you are interested, e-mail us for details. The course is not ideal as you get all the theory in one day. You stay one night on the island. You get a total of 6 dives but have to spend the last night in Cairns, as there is no transfer to the outer reef from the Island.
Advanced training is offered with almost every extended trip out of Cairns.
You do 5 course dives, of those 3 dives where you learn more about deep, navigation and night diving. You can choose from a few options for the other 2 dives, such as underwater photography, drift diving, search and recovery, multilevel diving, underwater naturalist or search and recovery. Those choices depend mostly on what the sea conditions allow when out at sea. Rescue course Many recreational divers do their advanced ticket but don't continue with their training. Although this is true, the rescue course has a lot to offer which makes average recreational divers to truly competent and safe divers.
