 Course Overview:
Whether you’ve never made a boat dive or you’ve logged dozens, the Boat Diver Specialty course can benefit almost every diver because different boats in different
parts of the world do things differently. You will learn about techniques and procedures diving on different types of boats. Diving from a boat is fun,
especially when you look at ease when maneuvering around on it. It’s fun to know what you’re doing.
Prerequisites:

laws and/or ordinances, and overview of emergency/safety equipment needed on-board private
diving vessels. You will do two dives under the supervision of an instructor.

review answers and prepare you for both of the open water dives.
