Drift Diver
Diving in a current can feel like flying underwater, it can be both relaxing and exhilarating as you slowly glide over a reef, or zoom over an underwater landscape.
In the PADI® Drift Diver course, you’ll learn drift diving tips from an experienced instructor and practice buoyancy control, navigation, use of surface signalling equipment and effective buddy communication so that you can confidently go with the flow.
