The Altitude Specialty Diver Course has two parts:
- Knowledge Development (you will be given a course manual for you to study, independently prior to your open water dives) to become aware of the additional considerations, and changes to procedures on a dive at altitude.
- 2 x Open Water Dives to practice dive planning using special altitude procedures, and to safely complete the dives staying within the limits.
The course takes place in 1 day, and is located at Lake Taupo.
Courses are scheduled around our trips to Lake Taupo.
Equipment rental is free of charge for this course.
Travel, food and accommodation are not included in the course costs.
