About ITDA Advanced Scuba Certificationscave

ITDA Advanced Scuba Certifications are another unique first in our Industry, as most agencies offer only very limited training and certification in advanced diving.

This is mainly due to the limited time requirements available and also many agencies follow their "Open Water or Entry Level scuba certification programs with an "Advanced Diver Course".

We require a higher experience level with 10 open water dives and rescue skills assessment to certify ITDA Advanced Diver...

The ITDA Difference!

We have two very different approaches to Advanced Diving Certifications: 1. We offer like everyone else an "Advanced Scuba Course Program", that may directly follow-on from our Open Water Scuba program and cover three (3) core dives:

1. Buoyancy and Gas Management. 2. Navigation and 3. Deep Diving to a maximum depth of 30m/132ft. Plus two (2) elective dives from our Introduction to specialist diving (Level 1).

After this level our divers may progress with extended theory and additional skills, plus experience dives (from 2 to 4 dives) to our level 2. Intermediate specialist level and then progress directly or after some time (Upgrades are valid up to 2 years from previous certification levels)

The Level 3. Is our advanced specialist diver with 4-6 dives, which means that our advanced specialist divers will have a minimum of 9 to 12 dives. Making them genuinely "Advanced" Divers with a good experience level...

What is the Advanced Specialist Certification?dvr_wreck

This is the highest level of "Specialist Diver", in the diving industry and requires real advanced experience and knowledge to attain the certification level. Exceeding the highest standards in diving.

This level is unique in scuba-diving as no other agency has this level of requirement for this certification.
