IANTD SELF-SUFFICIENT
DIVER




The Self Sufficient diver programme is designed to boost in water confidence and promote good responses to testing circumstances such as buddy separation or gas failure management.

The programme focusses on gas supply, gear, skills, physical ability and mental preparation for better diving in teams, as an instructor, task based project diving or progression into technical diving.

The aim is to build solid platform with resilient skills, increasing the reassurance for divers and their buddies that problems will not escalate into dangerous circumstances. Self sufficient diver is an excellent intro to twinset diving for any diver from AOW upwards.

IANTD HUMAN FACTORS
IN DIVING




You don't need to go diving to improve your diving. Advances in the quality of gear and skills have thrown a spotlight on 'human error'.

Human Factors is the science of human perception, systems and learning, which underpins the safety systems we choose to use while diving. This online Human Factors micro course takes just three hours, but is packed with information and is designed by Gareth Lock, author of Under Pressure.

Human Factors cannot be recommended highly enough for Divemasters, Instructors and Instructor Trainers, but also applies to sport divers and team members at all levels.

IANTD SKILLS FOR
PHOTOGRAMMETRY




Photogrammetry is an exciting tool for divers to create 3D models from sequences of 2D photos. These models work for briefings, scientific investigation and archaeology.

The diving skills for photogrammetry course covers both photographic and processing aspects, plus the diving skills to achieve a solid platform to complete the photographic tasks.

In two days, the course aims to bring divers up to the level of creating simple single 'chunk' 3D models, using cameras ranging from go pro to professional level cameras.
