The expert's opinion
This trip is designed for experienced divers with advanced diving skills. Participants must be proficient in buoyancy control, dive planning, and comfortable in a variety of conditions.
For technical dives, participants must hold the appropriate technical diving certification for the intended dive profile (e.g., Nitrox Confirmed / Advanced Nitrox, Decompression Procedures, Extended Range, Trimix or CCR) and have recent experience with their equipment.
Some dives may involve:
- Decompression obligations
- Deep diving
- Strong currents
- A limited direct ascent to the surface
- The use of multiple bottles or recycling systems
- Extended periods of immersion at the bottom
All dives are planned and executed within the limits of certification, each diver's experience, and the prevailing conditions. Safety is our top priority, and dive plans may be modified based on weather, sea conditions, or each diver's individual fitness.
