Drift Diver Specialty

GO WITH THE FLOW & FLY UNDERWATER Drift Diving is one of the most popular things to do when diving at locations around the world, especially in places that have strong currents like Cozumel, Mexico, Palau, New Zealand, Galapagos, United Kingdom. (In southern California and Los Angeles, we do drift dive but it depends more on the boat we use.) Drift diving can be relaxing and exhilarating. The course teaches you how to enjoy going with the flow as you scuba dive along reefs and use ocean (even river) currents to glide along. To get the most out of your drift diving there are a few simple rules and skills to share with you.    Thus, the goal of this course is to teach you as divers a systematic, methodical approach to drift diving, with an overview of regional and situational variables in the techniques used. You will develop the techniques involved in drift diving within recreational limits in a local drift diving environment.   Minimum age: 10 years old   Note: we include your educational materials and your certification card with 1-2 training dives depending on your program.  Travel expenses are not included.  Training dives are best from Catalina shore or from one of our dive boat trips but can be from our Malibu beaches (you need to be experienced beach diver) Choose date(s) that are best for you or when we are conducting weekend ocean dives in Catalina or are diving from a boat or the beach.  Dives are best when you have experience and mastery of neutral buoyancy before attempting a drift dive.
