Special academic and classroom sessions are conducted where keen individuals are taught about diving physics, diving hazards and precautions, SCUBA equipment, human physiology, diving signals, buddy system etc. The sessions emphasize on all these topics to make divers aware of all consequences which they can face underwater.  This is because they can come across various health risks when they go underwater. They are made trained about the methods of dealing with all such critical situations.  

Confined Water or Pool Courses

Confined water or pool course is the second important step of diving training. Confined water refers to a swimming pool or an open water site which provides swimming-pool-like situations.

Open water Course
