RAID Open Water 20

Course Overview

The RAID Deep 40 program is not only about diving deeper. It’s a great addition to the other training that you have previously completed.

The Victorian waters are home to some of Australia’s most beautiful and interesting wreck and reef diving most of which can be found below 30 meters.

Whilst this program is not designed to teach you technical diving or decompression diving, it begins to form the basis of knowledge and understanding that is required to safely and correctly perform and plan deep dives and address the contributing factors to deep diving.

The RAID Deep 40 program is also the foundation of which and if you so choose to all of your technical diving experiences will stem from. With RAID you can also choose to continue your journey with the addition of the RAID Deco 40 Program allowing you to dive to a maximum depth of 40 meters but also allowing you to dive for longer.
