Tips & Hints:
Earning the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating
It’s all about getting out SCUBA diving…
Finding the time to get out diving after your course with a dive instructor can be hard, you’ve got all those other things which come up that just don’t seem to let you get away….
Make time:
The answer is simpler than you think. What you need to do is make your next dive course one of the things that just come up. Set in your schedule that you need to do your Advanced, Rescue or a Specialty course/s of your choice and you are good to go. Make just one step at a time if you need to, it makes it easier to fit in and soon enough you’ll be out diving regularly and it won’t seem like it’s affecting anything at all.
Set aside one of your weekend mornings for a dive if the conditions suit, make Thursday an early finish day from work and get out for a dive after work.
Get certified:
Getting the certifications for your Master Scuba Diver rating is as simple as finding out when the next course is. Set the dates aside early, to make sure you are free, and contact the dive store to book your place. eLearning for core level courses and somme Specialty courses like EANx, Peak Performance Buoyancy and many others can be done in your own time. Make time for a few hours of relaxed study once or twice a week and before you know it, you’re ready for the pool or Open Water dives of your next course.
The staff at NZ Sea Adventures love finding ways to get dive courses in during the week too so can be flexible to meet your required schedule.
Take the opportunities and book in early:
Open Water Diver courses are run regularly but it pays to get in when you can for your Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver courses. These are a little less frequent. Specialty ratings are a great way to build quality underwater experience and certifications with your dive instructor; most are available locally with a minimum of 1-2 people and up to 8 people (divers) per course and sometimes more.
Dive, Dive, Dive, Dive, Dive…
Our Dive Trips are a great way to log some serious diving. You can knock out some Specialty courses with the added diving environment conditions to get you closer to your desired certification level.
