About the activity

The Challenge Week Diving Programme is a five day scuba diving experience for students of all levels. The first three days of the week will be spent completing theory and confined water training as well as undertaking projects related to the Marine Environment in Hong Kong. The final two days will be spent on the boat completing their Open Water Dives.
