With a totally innovative approach to diver continuing education, RAID has launched a brand new program Explorer 30. The program was specifically developed to bridge the gap between traditional openwater programs and the so called advanced programs. Conceived to be an easy next step from the RAID Open Water 20 diver course, Explorer 30 has minimal theory (all online) and a strong focus on practical sessions themed to giving the diver more skills and experience while still under RAID Instructor supervision.
The Explorer 30 Program also allows the diver to participate in some alternative diving activities including core dives featuring navigation, deep and second level buoyancy training, critical for safe diving in deeper depths and for the divers overall comfort. However; RAID International Recreational Training Director, Mark McCrum is quick to point out when it comes to buoyancy training, RAID leads the pack and buoyancy training is a point of difference between RAID and other training agencies. We certainly do not treat buoyancy as a specialty, so in the Explorer 30 program we just take buoyancy training to a whole new level.
RAID International Training Director, Paul Toomer explained with pride and with his renowned enthusiasm; the RAID Explorer 30 program has 3 awesome core dives and 2 magic electives. Core and elective dives can all credit towards the core levels of the RAID Advanced 35 program and be the first dive of the respective RAID Specialty Diver Courses. We also give Instructors the flexibility of combining Nitrox training in the mix. Its all so super cool.
As with all RAID new programs, Explorer 30 gives the game away within the title with a 30 meter (100 feet) indication of the maximum depth reflected in the training and certification.
RAID International Business Director Terry Cummins said: this is a program that the dive industry has wanted for a long time an easy and convenient stepping stone to more advanced courses and diver specialty courses. We have built this as fun based interest retainer and teaser for the intermediate diver with the idea to keep them in diving while we also avoided the temptation of bogging the diver down with a whole lot of extra theory, seen in other programs in yet another book. We are very confident the Explorer 30 will become one of the most popular diver education programs anywhere and make a positive contribution to diver retention.
