Ocean Diver Sheltered Water Lessons
The Ocean Diver lessons are structured very much on the 'less haste more
speed' principle. The lessons concentrate on the students acquiring basic
skills, such as buoyancy control, finning etc, to a level where they become
second nature, and students become relaxed underwater and develop confidence
in their own abilities. This builds a firm foundation on which other skills,
such as navigation or the use of Surface Marker Buoys, can be overlaid
in future Sports Diver training.
OS1 Being Underwater
OS2 Basic Skills
OS3 Developing Skills
OS4 Beyond the Basics
OS5 Safety Skills
Ocean Diver Open Water Lessons
The emphasis on the Open Water dives is to take the skills already taught
during the Sheltered Water lessons into the Open Water environment.
OO1 The First Open Water Dive
OO2 The Second Open Water Dive
OO3 The Third Open Water Dive
OO4 The Fourth Open Water Dive
OO5 The Fifth Open Water Dive
To ensure that students receive experience in a range
of conditions, the Open Water dives must include four conditions from
the following, appropriate to the local conditions in which they will
subsequently be diving:
shore dive - dive commencing and ending on either a gently shelving shore
or a deep water entry/exit
dive using a breathing gas mix - 32% or 36% O2
low visibility dive - dive in visibility in the range between 2 and 4 metres
drift dive - dive in moving water in the speed range between 0.25 and 0.5kn
small boat dive - dive from a boat of less than 8m overall length, where water entry is via a backward roll, and egress from the water requires removal of equipment in the water
large boat dive - dive from a boat of greater than 8m overall length, where the
water entered is via a stride entry, and egress from the water is accomplished via
ladder without removal of any equipment except, possibly, fins
wall dive - dive along a vertical or near vertical wall with no solid bottom closer than 4m below the divers
dive in protective clothing - dive wearing either a wet suit or dry suit
Only one of the above conditions may be logged per dive.
The Ocean Diver syllabus includes five Open Water lessons which should
total a minimum of 120 mins underwater time. Where conditions are suitable,
the lessons may be condensed into four dives provided that no training
elements are omitted and
the total underwater time of 120 minutes is not reduced. The maximum depth
to be attained during the above dives will be in the range 15 - 20m.
