Aquamissions 6-15

Advanced skills such as compass navigation, underwater photography, search and recovery, rescue skills, wreck diving, fish identification, and night diving, among others. Upon completion you obtain the PADI Master Seal certification.

Day Plan & Logistics

The training program takes place at our 12’ deep heated pool in Guaynabo every Saturday from 3pm to 6pm.  A pickup/dropoff time of 30 minutes is permitted to facilitate logistics and assure punctuality.  The daily activity is carried out in the following three (3) stages:

Briefing & Setup 3pm – 3:45pm

Let’s get ready! Time to review all skills and training plan, as well as setup the scuba units with our certified PADI Instructors.

Swim & Scuba Training 3:45pm – 5:30pm

Time to hit the water!  A :30 minute swim and water safety practice continues to strengthen aquatic skills.  Then we’re going underground!  The scuba diving plan takes place starting in the shallow as we practice basic skills like proper breathing techniques, neutral buoyancy, u/w signals with new buddies, and then progress to advanced skills that continue to learn and reinforce mastery in Photography, Videography, Rescue Scenarios, Search & Recovery, Fish-Id, Underwater Navigation, and more.

Over & Out 5:30pm – 6pm
