PADI Rocky Mountain Diver
This course was developed and is taught exclusively by our very own Bill Hall, author of the local diving guide book "Southern Alberta Diving" & "Diving B.C. Lakes & Rivers".
This course introduces you to the common flora, fauna and dive conditions typically found at R.M. Dive sites and offers training for safely diving in those conditions.
What do I need to start?
PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 10 years old are eligible to take the Altitude Diver course.
What will I do?
Learning to adjust your dive plan for the reduced surface pressure at altitude is an important part of the course. You'll complete two scuba dives and learn:
- Compass navigation while calculating kick strokes.
- Marking or relocating a submerged object or position from the surface.
- Streamline to save energy, use air more efficiently and move more smoothly through the water.
- How to adjust your dive computer for altitude diving or calculate altitude dive profiles using the RDP Table.
What scuba gear will I need?
Beyond using basic scuba equipment, you may need a dry suit for the cool water. Your PADI Instructor may suggest additional equipment depending on the dive site features and visibility.
