In this course, you learn how to plan dives that extend your bottom time by crediting you for slower nitrogen absorption when you ascend to a shallower depth. That's the way you really dive, after all.
The Fun Part
This is a great way to learn how to make multilevel dives even if you forget to bring your dive computer.
What You Learn
You'll learn what multilevel diving is and why you want to plan for multilevel dives. You'll also get to see the various types of multilevel dive calculators (including dive computers), as well as learn about multilevel dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques, and potential problems. You'll plan a multilevel dive profile and dive it with your PADI Instructor.
You learn how to:
Plan and execute multilevel dives (different depths on the same dive)
Back up your dive computer and plan multilevel dives
Maximize your no stop time
Prerequisites
Jr. Adv.Open Water Diver or Qualifying rating

The Gear You'll Need:
A basic set of scuba equipment and dive regulator, we can provide you this if you do not have your own gear, we will also be happy to help you purchase a set from a local supplier if you wish. A dive computer is optional.
Your Certification Card
We will help you fill out the Personal Identification Card to be sent to PADI along with a passport photograph. We will also issue you with a temporary card that is valid for 90 days. That should be plenty of time to receive your shiny new certification card from PADI.
If you wish, at the time of sending the PIC, you can also request a PADI Project Aware emblem on your card, by making a small donation to this organisation.
Your Next Adventure
Multilevel diving is often conducted while deep diving or wreck diving. Multilevel diving combined with Enriched Air Nitrox provides the longest no stop dive times possible.
