1 Day - 2 Dives

This one day non-certification programme is designed to introduce diving in twin-sets and wings primarily to divers who seek longer bottom times underwater and better gas management to support it, or wish to diversify their diving by entering into technical diving.

The programme is also ideal for divers who wish to learn more about 'redundancy' and safety by utilising two, instead of one cylinder in their diving.

All aspects and configurations of twin-sets from the preferred ocean diving rigs of manifolded twins to isolated set-ups and even side-slung configurations are covered in the programme with their pros and cons.

The programme also includes two dives using either a twin-set configuration already owned by the divers, or the famous Halcyon Explorer or Evolve MC Systems (cost includes rental fees). 

In-water skills are designed to develop on a divers existing fundamental buoyancy, finning and streamlining techniques thereby making him/her more comfortable, competent and confident underwater while optionally introducing the diver to new and different methods, configurations and techniques.

Introduction to Twin-set Diving can be taken either as a stand-alone development and skill course or as a primer for any future advanced and technical level training to be taken from Underwater Explorers.

This is an exclusive hands-on UE skills programme and not a certification course. Equipment is included where required.
