Drift Diver

Drift diving can be one of the most fun experiences a diver can encounter.  Diving doesn’t have to stop just because the tides and currents aren’t right.  Learn how to use the sea and rivers to safely go with the flow and have a relaxing, hugely fun and effortless dive experience.
What does the course consist of?

Your drift diving course will consist of:

Knowledge Development: Through homework and the vast knowledge of your  Instructor you will learn about –

  • Planning, organisation, procedures, techniques and potential problems associated with drift diving
  • Drift diving equipment, including floats, lines and reels
  • Buoyancy control, navigation and communication when drift diving
  • Site selection and overview of aquatic currents – causes and effects
  • Techniques for staying close to a buddy or together as a group 

In your two open water sea dives you will put into action your newly acquired theory and have fun virtually flying along.

What can I do after this course?
Things to do after you qualify: Rescue Diver
The Rescue Diver course is the logical next step for the majority of Advanced Open Water Divers.  You will learn the next stage in not only looking after yourself but also how to prevent emergencies and care for others if one should arise.  It's a serious course but huge amounts of fun!
Things to do after you qualify: Go on Dive Trips
At Wraysbury Dive Centre we organise dive trips both at home in the UK and abroad.   Trips are organised for all levels of diver.  Just keep an eye on our trips page here and on our facebook page for upcoming events
Things to do after you qualify: Buy Dive Kit
You may have already bought your first dive toys but if you have not, you may be considering making that first purchase.  We would always recommend that you purchase your dive equipment from a dive shop rather than shopping online (and its not just because we have a dive shop on site).  Buying in person allows you to try things on so that you get the right fit, get the right advice and kit for the type of diving that you intend to do and benefit from the experience of those that actually go diving.  You may also end up with a better deal than you imagined.
