SCUBA DIVING AND SNORKELLING LESSONS - STAFFORD

The Course

Do you often find that the PADI RDP limits your dive time? Do you want to spend more time swimming along that beautiful coral reef on holiday? Are you baffled by the idea of diving with a computer and which one you should choose? The PADI Multilevel specialty will introduce the key concepts to help you overcome these problems.

The PADI RDP Wheel has been formulated to extend no-decompression limits by calculating dives as multilevel profiles. Students will learn how to plan dives on the wheel to make the most of the available time within no-decompression limits. The history of decompression theory and how the PADI table and PADI wheel were created along with the concepts of how computers calculate dive profiles are covered in this course.

Course Content

The course consists of a knowledge development session & 2 Open water dives which will cover:

• Planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of multilevel diving
• Definition and advantages of multilevel diving
• Methods of calculating multilevel dives (The Wheel and/or dive computers)
• Review of decompression sickness theory
• Review of emergency decompression procedures
• Review of PADI’s S.A.F.E Diver campaign
• Procedures for flying after diving
• Guidelines, rules and procedures for multilevel diving with the Wheel and/or diving computers
• Care and maintenance of dive computers

Knowledge Development

Knowledge development is based on a self-study method, allowing you to study in your own time, at your own pace. Home study is backed up by an academic session with a PADI Instructor, to ensure full understanding of multilevel theory.

Open Water Dives

Students must complete 2 Open Water dives to certify as a PADI Multilevel Diver.

Each dive is calculated and conducted using the PADI Wheel. Emphasis is placed on closely monitoring depth, time, air supply and ascent rates. Dive 1 is planned as a 2 level dive profile, whilst dive 2 is planned as a 3 level dive profile.
