As a National Geographic Diver, your certification signifies that you have the skills and knowledge of a PADI Open Water Diver plus increased buoyancy control and observation skills. You’ll practise hovering in various positions, meaning that you get closer to aquatic creatures without disturbing them. You’ll have the skills to investigate features of a dive site that other divers may never see. During the course, you’ll complete an exploration project, concentrating on one aspect of the underwater world. You will practise different navigation patterns underwater so that you can feel confident finding your way around a dive site.
The first three and a half days of this course are the same as the Open Water Course. You’ll then go on to do 2 further days of training, doing 3 dives that include reef mapping, marine life identification, as well as advanced buoyancy training. Exclusive to the Coral Grand Divers package is a further dive; a deep dive where you’ll go down to 30 metres. This dive is classed as a PADI Deep Adventure Dive, and as such will give you the certification required to dive deep anywhere in the world. It also counts as one dive towards the PADI Advanced course.
