Dive deeper, exploring shipwrecks, taking photos! These are just some of the things you can experience during your SSI Advanced Adventurer course! During your Advanced Adventurer course you will complete 5 adventure dives plus 1 free dive over 3 mornings.
1. perfect buoyancy
Are you ready to take your scuba diving skills to the next level? If so, then you’re in for a treat! On your first morning of your scuba diving adventure, we will begin with the Perfect Buoyancy Adventure Dive. Buoyancy is an incredibly important skill to have when diving. It is the ability to stay neutrally buoyant in the water, something that can be a challenge for many divers. It is crucial to be able to maintain your buoyancy so you can be comfortable and manoeuver through the water with ease. During this dive, you will participate in different buoyancy games and exercises. These exercises will help you practice your hovering and finning techniques so you can improve your air consumption and feel more relaxed during the rest of your dives. This dive will also help you to become more aware of how your body is positioned in the water, and how you can use your fins and breathing to control your buoyancy. At the end of the dive, you will have a better understanding of how to maintain your buoyancy and stay comfortable as you move through the water. This dive is a great way to start off your adventure, and it will give you the skills to make the most of your dives in the future.
2. underwater navigation
Have you ever wondered how your instructor always gets you back to the exit without surfacing? Top-notch navigational skills is the answer! Navigating underwater is an essential skill for any diver, and it’s important to practice and hone your skills to ensure a safe and enjoyable dive.
During your surface interval, your instructor will help you understand how to get around underwater and how to use a compass to do so. They will start by explaining how to use a compass and how to orient yourself. You will practice how to read the compass in relation to where you’re going and how to use the bearing that you’re given to get from point A to point B. You will also learn how to use the compass to navigate back to the exit point.
Once you are confident, it’s time to jump back into Playa Chica and practice navigating! You will practice finding your way around a dive site and how to use a compass to get back to the exit point. Your instructor will also be able to help you identify the best reference points and landmarks to help you get back to the exit safely and efficiently. By the end of the dive, you will have a good understanding of how to use a compass and how to orient yourself underwater. Navigational skills are an essential part of diving and an important part of staying safe underwater.
3. Deep Diving
Welcome to day two of your SSI Advanced Adventurer course! After a successful first day of mastering the basics, today you’ll take your first dive beyond 18 metres. You’ll be diving at La Pared, one of the stunning dive sites in Puerto Del Carmen and home to some of the most beautiful marine life. With your instructor by your side and our trimaran hard boat as your base, you’ll slowly drop down the descent line before gradually following the reef down to 30 metres. As you explore the wall, you’ll be amazed by the array of colourful marine life that can be found here. From the majestic grouper that hang around the reef to the vibrant parrotfish, La Pared is a paradise for all underwater explorers. You may even be lucky enough to spot a stingray or angel shark on your dive!
But it doesn’t stop at the marine life – La Pared is also home to a number of spectacular underwater rock formations that are sure to amaze even the most experienced divers. As you swim around these unique formations, you’ll be able to appreciate their sheer beauty and marvel at their intricate details. So take a deep breath, dive in and enjoy the beauty of La Pared with Manta Diving Lanzarote. On this dive, you’ll be able to test your improved buoyancy control, air consumption and navigation skills as well as explore a truly remarkable underwater world.
