    Advanced Recreational Wreck Diving Workshops

    I've started running some advanced recreational wreck diving workshops and thought you might enjoy a peek at the highlights of my last session. The workshops are flexible schedule and aim to extend the (basic/introductory) training provided at recreational 'Wreck Diver' level - without the full technicality and cost/training commitment of 'Technical Wreck' level courses. It's a non-certification workshop - the only reward is the skills ...

    STREAMLINING YOUR SCUBA KIT

The diver should critically examine their configuration with an aim to reducing their overall ‘profile’ in the water though minor tweaks and adjustments.
