Advanced 35

The RAID Advanced 35 course is the ultimate choice for divers seeking a thorough and versatile advanced training program. This course includes a minimum of six specialty dives, qualifying successful participants to dive to depths of up to 35 meters. Each specialty dive completed within the course counts toward individual specialty certifications, providing a pathway for divers to further specialize in areas of interest.

Throughout the program, participants will expand their knowledge in key areas, including dive equipment, environmental awareness, rescue techniques, and advanced buoyancy and trim skills beyond Level 1 training. Designed as more comprehensive course than the RAID Explorer 30 program, this course goes beyond the basics to elevate your diving proficiency and confidence.

Typical dives in the Advanced 35 course cover essential specialties such as Navigation, Buoyancy, Rescue, and Deep Diving (two dives), with additional electives like Wreck or Night Diving. This course is ideal for those committed to advancing their diving skills and knowledge while customized to take advantage of local diving highlights, we also teach the use of stage/bailout cylinder for planned dives around and over 30m to increase safety and comfort, it also preps you for more advanced diving adventures either locally or overseas.
