Standards for the course
Every dive is linked together during this course. The dive planning you complete for the early dives will be much more detailed as a dive and air plan when we reach the deep diving stage. Likewise, Navigation will usually be completed on dive 2, this gives you a chance to practice Navigation on the last 3 dives.
On the Deep dive, we plan together for NDL, AIR, and redundant air supply. Usually, this will be the last dive of the course.
