Altitude Diver Course

Diving anywhere that is more than 1000 feet above sea level requires special altitude consideration.  The Altitude Diver Course is designed to help you develop the knowledge and different techniques for diving at altitude.

Prerequisites: To become an altitude specialty diver you must be at least 12 years old, and hold at least an Open Water or Junior Open Water Certification or equivalant.

The course consists of one classroom session with an instructor to go over the High Altitude Slate and how diving affects your body differently at altitude. Then you will make two open water dives at altitude.  Thats all there is to it!

You must supply your own diving gear for the open water dives, however if you do not own your own gear, rental equipment is available at Abyss-Scuba.

Required materials not included in the course fee's are:

• Adventures in diving student kit
• Altitude Conversion Table
• Certification fee to process your C-Card
• One photo (passport-sized)

Course Fee:    $125

You will also receive a 10% discount on the purchase of any equipment during your term as a Abyss-Scuba student.
