• The practical skills needed for effective line laying

• Planning considerations for wreck diving

This course is also a mixture of classroom theory and offshore practical sessions.

Topics covered include:

• Owner and driver responsibilities

• Boat handling basics

• Voyage planning considering the weather, tides, and local area

• Sheltered water handling

• Open water handling, including man overboard drills

• Anchoring and diving, the ability to safely drop and recover divers at a dive site
