The academic portion of the Advanced Diver Course is practical and less demanding than most other classes. The Classroom discussion will include knowledge development in: deeper diving, wreck &/or wall diving techniques, night diving, search and recovery, dive planning, and emergency/contingency procedures.
Pool training for this course involves a review of basic scuba skills, buoyancy control exercises and a review of rescue/assist situations.
Session #2 of the Advanced class meets at a local lake for an orientation dive followed by navigation exercises, followed by a night dive.
Session #3 will be held at a second local lake known for it's unending supply of historic artifacts (and some modern ones too). This session will provide students the chance to try tethered diving and low visibility "treasure" diving.
Sessions #4 & #5 will be held at either the Crosby or Gilbert mines or on Lake Superior's North Shore. Students will perform a minimum of three dives over the weekend (most groups do five). These dives include one deeper dive (60+ feet), and either a wreck or wall dive.
