Mark and Greg PADI Deep Specialty Course

UWE and Ocean Quest are excited to announce we have two new graduates from the PADI Diver Specialty Course.  Mark and Greg started the PADI Deep Diver Specialty course on the 2oth of Jan where we working on some of the academics.  We worked on the concepts of gas management, Surface Air Consumption Rates,gas matching, rock bottom.  It was a steep learning curve as we went further and more in depth then what is expected for the PADI Deep Diver Specialty Course.

On the first ocean day, we work on finning and buoyancy skills, SAC rate calculations through a SAC swim, out of air drills and holding of on safety stops.  The second dive was had us heading down to 100 feet, and practiced and deep stop scheduling, and once again the safety stops.  One can not be to careful SAFETY STOPS!

The second ocean day we headed down to 130 feet, where we did some pressure related demonstrations, and then on our ascent we did deep stops every 10 feet starting at 70 feet.  Overall it was a great dive!  Both students were very surprised how my gas was needed for the rock bottom, we had to be off the bottom with 1800 psi.  The final dive we a fairly simple 100 ft dive which went off once again without a hitch.

Well done to both Mark and Greg for the great work they did on the PADI Deep Diver Specialty Course.
