Explorer 30 

Advanced 35

The certification of a truly competent diver. The Explorer 30 course is RAIDs equivalent to many other agencies' 'Advanced open water' course which not only adds credibility but gives you the qualification to dive to dive to 30 metres, if you've opted to do the extended Advanced 35, then it's a 35 metre qualification. It is widely recognised that there are greater attractions, such as shipwrecks at this depth or perhaps you need this qualification to progress.

There’s a lot to it, the open water course has taught you to dive – now the toolbox is out and you’ll learn how to use specific equipment underwater tailored to the dive you’re actually doing.

Explorer 30 is the gateway to Rescue Diver, any agency.

This is a pivotal step in expanding a diver's knowledge and experience and a prerequisite before enrolling on the Divemaster course and becoming a dive professional. Already competent in their own ability Rescue Divers now learn to look beyond themselves and to consider the safety and well-being of other divers and respond accordingly should a situation arise. The course introduces the necessary skills required in the unlikely event of a diving accident and builds your confidence providing you with valuable experience in emergency management. You will learn to deal with tired, panicked and unresponsive divers and learn in water resuscitation and egress techniques. A pre-requisite qualification to become a Divemaster.
