Underwater Group Training

What is this?

Intensive small group buoyancy training, where techniques are first built forward in pool conditions and taken into open water with sensible repetition. The structure of the days is designed so that skills do not remain "practice", but become part of real, smooth diving.

What you get (content)

• Mapping meeting (Meets)
  The group's starting level, goals and daily priorities (possibly including roles/pairing and safety practices).
• 2 × customized pool workout
  Technique and equipment adjustments in a controlled environment: weighting, trim, buoyancy control , movement and effective kicking techniques. +Any other wishes of the group that have been discussed in the mapping meeting.
• 4 × customized open water dives (on two different days - to be agreed upon by the group)
  Transfer of skills to open water conditions: routines, smooth ascents/descents, pair work, navigation, agreed-upon theme exercises – safely and clearly guided.
• Final summary
  Group debrief + personal feedback and recommendation for continuation.

What can training focus on? (examples)

• Technique & fluency: buoyancy control, trim, movement, kicking technique, turns, etc.
• Routines & safety: buddy work, communication, safety stops
• DSMB/surface buoy: broadcast, management, group action and surface marking
• Navigation & route: compass + landmarks etc.
• Special themes: themed dives, equipment configurations, special techniques, photography activities, etc. etc.

What is the advantage of this over Lite?

Repetition and routine. Lite gives a good start – this package offers a lot of repetitions in the same good group in a compact package. There is more time and the training can continue time and time again in a systematic way.
