What Type of Dives Will You Do?

Night Diving

Are you afraid of the dark? Well, don't be. As the sun sets, you don your dive gear, slip on your scuba mask and bite down on your dive regulator. Although you've seen this reef many times before, this time you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light. Introduce yourself to the entirely new cast of critters that comes out after the sun goes down. You'll learn how to communicate using dive lights as well as how to navigate in the dark.

Deep Diving

After your first few scuba dives, you soon want to explore a bit deeper. There's something exciting and mysterious about the depth that attracts dives. Many shipwrecks are often found in deeper water. That's why the PADI Deep Diver course is a natural companion to the PADI Wreck Diver course. You will learn to manage your gas supply and recognize your personal limits.

Wreck Diving

Whether sunk on purpose as an artificial reef or the result of mishap, wrecks open fascinating windows to the past. Most divers find wrecked ships, airplanes and even automobiles nearly irresistible because they're intriguing to explore, exciting avenues of discovery, and usually teeming with aquatic life. The PADI Wreck Diver course teaches you the ins and outs of rewarding, responsible wreck diving.

Underwater Photography

Underwater photography is one of the most popular diving activities. #InstaFamous and you'll have a mission on every dive, and every dive is a new opportunity to get the perfect shot. You can snorkel or freedive and still get epic photos using the techniques you learn.

Peak Performance Buoyancy

What is neutral buoyancy? Scuba divers like to be neutrally buoyant so they neither sink nor float. It can be a tricky thing. Divers who've mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart. You've seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, almost as if by thought. They interact gently with aquatic life and affect their surroundings minimally. With the basic skills you learned as a Open Water Diver we will elevate them to the next level.

Coral Reef Conservation and Coral Watch

Designed to inform you about the world's coral reefs. As a scuba diver, the health of aquatic ecosystems is often what makes a good dive. Become aware of the fragileness of coral reefs and how you can help preserve them. CoralWatch integrates global monitoring of coral bleaching with education about coral reef conservation.

Fish Coral & Creature Identification

"What was that?" The Identification skills you will learn provides you with the basics so that next time, you know the answer. You'll find you enjoy your dives even more when you recognize the creatures that you see. The fun part about this course is you can use the skills you learn on every scuba diving vacation because once you learn the main fish families and characteristics it will help you decipher the species you see all over the world.

Underwater Researcher

The Odyssey Underwater Research course is a "distinctive" specialty, meaning that it's only available through Odyssey! It is designed to teach you the techniques and methods used to conduct underwater research. You will learn all about the scientific method, as well as the guidelines and basic procedures used while research diving. In the water, we'll use transect lines and quadrats and even ROV operation as well as other measuring and observation techniques.

Fluorecence Diving

With Fluoro diving we experience such scenes with your own eyes. During a UV Night Dive we descend with specialized High Intensity Blue lights. In combination with a special vizor this dive light allows us to see marine fluorescence. Not only do the corals around you radiate a spectrum of the brightest fluorescent colors but so too does the aquatic life. Moray eels, crabs and tiny shrimps display flashes of a bright fluorescent yellow and scorpion fish luminesce with pink.

Drift Diving

How to go with the flow! It is super enjoyable to go with the currents and glide along. It feels like flying except that you're underwater using scuba equipment. Drift diving can be relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. We even visit a dive site called Superman's Flight. You will use the what you learned about the drift diving equipment: floats, lines and reels. It is also a good time to practice that buoyancy control, navigation and communications necessary to stay close to your buddy or group as you float with the current.

Freediving

It is is about inward power, discipline and control. If you've always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. Our Grenadines SEA Voyages now offer the PADI Freediver course, it is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves. Achieving a new freediving time or reaching a new depth is an incredible feeling. It satisfies that very personal desire to do your best and be proud of what you can accomplish.
