Drift Diver

Stock No. DRIF
£ 195.00

The Drift Diver speciality is perfect for those divers looking to gain confidence diving in currents and become comfortable with the techniques needed to keep in touch with their buddies and the dive boat too.

In the very tidal waters of the UK we have some fantastic drift diving opportunities, but this type of diving certainly has its challenges, so come and take the course and learn how best to enjoy this relaxing type of diving.

Across two boat dives you’re going to learn how to manage your buoyancy whilst on a drift dive, communicate with your dive buddy and practice the use of a DSMB to keep in touch with your dive boat on the surface. With all of these things in place you can relax back into the dive, letting the current move you along on one of the most relaxing dives you will ever complete.

 You will also –

  • Gain experience using drift diving equipment including floats, lines and reels
  • Get an overview of aquatic currents – causes and effects
  • Practice with buoyancy control, navigation and communication during two drift dives
  • Learn techniques for staying close to a buddy or together as a group as you float with the current
  • PADI Drift Diver Manual
  • Two Open Water Drift Dives
  • PADI Drift Diver eCard
  • Full Equipment Hire

Please note that boat fees are not included in the training fee, and will need to be paid directly to the boat operator.

To take this course, you must be:

  • A PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver, or equivalent 
  • 12 years old
