Buoyancy, Weighting & Trim Workshop]
Dive South
Poole, Map
We have some spaces for our Buoyancy, Weighting & Trim Workshop.
This session is to really fine tune your buoyancy skills and techniques for hovering in trim, through teaching you how to correctly weight yourself, where to distribute it to give you the best position and control in the water.
It will be an hour presentation/briefing and discussion with you to work out what you want to achieve so we can taylor the session to your goals. Then we will spend 2 hours in the pool putting it all into practice. We will go for a debrief afterwards to discuss how it all went for you and provide any suggestions and answer any questions you may have.
The session is £40. If you have your own kit then please bring it as we do like to get you in the pool with the kit you would be usually diving in. If not please let us know what you need.
We only run these sessions for small groups, so spaces are limited. To book your space or for more info please message Lisa at Lisa@divesouth.co.uk
You must be a qualified diver to attend, if you are not already qualified, please ask for details of our next RAID Open water 20 course.
We will also be running some 'Finning Techniques Workshops', some 'Rescue Refresher Skills Workshops' and some 'Drysuit Orientation Workshops, so please keep an eye on our events:)

RAID Explorer 30 / Advanced 35 weekend
Dive South
Poole, Map
RAID Explorer 30:
Extend your depth range, and gain some practical introductory experience into dealing with a range of different dives/sites/environments
The course comprises five dives over two days: three are core requirements (Buoyancy, Navigation and Deep dives), and two further elective dives.
RAID Advanced 35:
Extend the depth range further! The Advanced 35 course is a little more involved than its 30m version. It is more than just an intro, and requires more skills practice.
There are a couple of pool sessions to run through some skills and to nail down that all important buoyancy. This is followed by six dives, four of which are core (Buoyancy, Navigation, Deep 1 and Deep 2) and the other two are elective. The open water dives can be done over a weekend.
