PADI Advanced Open Water

The 2015 season is starting to pick up, in early February our new instructors Darren and Dan completed our first PADI courses of the year with a PADI Drysuit speciality course and a PADI Open water course respectively.

Dan's student enjoyed his course so much he has already booked onto his PADI Advanced Open Water Course. During that course he will get 3 dives in the shallow bays of Protaras; mastering his buoyancy with the Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive; getting more practice with his underwater compass on his Underwater Navigation Dive; learning more about our local marine life including vertebrates, invertebrates and plant life with a Underwater Naturalist Dive. 

 

Then he will be doing  2 dives on the wreck of the world famous Zenobia completing his Deep Dive where we have a look at the changes in colour at depth and the effect of diving deeper on your air consumption, and finally the Wreck Dive in which we identify the hazards on the outside of a wreck and navigate along the wreck back to a shot line. You can book today on any of these courses or many more by contacting us at larnaca@dive-in.com.cy or visit our website at Dive-In Larnaca

SDI Nitrox

We recently completed a SDI Computer Nitrox course for one of our customers, and at just 99€ you'd be mad not to book yourself on this course in the future. With longer bottom times, shorter surface intervals among the many benefits of diving Nitrox you can have some great times diving with us out on the Zenobia. Through SDI's on-line training program,  you can complete most of the required academic study in the comfort and convenience of your home or office. When you have done the self-study portion of the course, you will come to Dive-In Larnaca and meet with your SDI Instructor to review your final exam and to take part in a  brief practical application session. Here you will get hands-on experience with oxygen analysers, Nitrox dive computers, gas logging sheets and tank labelling. You can get started now on this course or many more by contacting us at larnaca@dive-in.com.cy or visiting Dive-In Larnaca.

 

 

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Our new bigger boat that can hold up to 15 people is almost ready to get into the water. The guys have recently been up to the dry dock to put the final touches of antifoul on. Now in the Marina awaiting final inspection. We are all excited to see her in the water for trips to Zenobia and beyond! You don't need to wait for our new boat, we are still running daily trips to the Zenobia, so book today by contacting us at larnaca@dive-in.com.cy.

TillyTec Torches

We have long been fans of TillyTec modular torches as they come either with umbilicals and Goodman handles or as hand held torches. Several different heads are available, with 2 different battery sizes - depending just how much burntime you need. They also do a great little back up/recreational torch (MPL series) .
Contact us at larnaca@dive-in.com.cy for more details.

2014 Season

We can't believe that the 2014 season has gone so quickly and that we haven't updated this blog for so long - hopefully you have been following us on Facebook to see what we have been up to this year. It has been a fun year with lots of PADI, SDI and TDI certs, from Open Water to TDI Advanced Trimix CCR.

We are looking forward to 2015 and have just had 2 new L+W compressors installed to make our gas filling even more efficient. The 2 new 300ES II replace our previous 280S compressors. We took delivery last week and have started using them straight away and look forward to them being used in tandem next season.

Out with the old, in with the new

SDI Deep Diver course

The SDI Deep course is designed to teach divers how to plan and execute deep dives to a maximum depth of 40m.

You get to do all the theory online before you come to Cyprus so you don't waste a sunny day in the classroom AND  the 2 course dives are done on the wreck of the Zenobia. So you get to dive one of the best wrecks in the world whilst getting your Deep certification.

SDI's Deep Diver course is a must for any diver wanting to explore a little more and will teach you the risks and benefits of deep diving. Many interesting sights lie just beyond 18m, such as beautiful wall dives, ship wrecks and sea life.

In order to sign up for this course you need to be an Open Water diver with 10 logged dives and be over 18 or over 10 with your parents consent (maximum depth for 10-15 year olds is 21m) .

During this course your SDI instructor will take you on 2 dives which cover skills such as:-

• Proper descents
• Air Management
• Effects of Nitrogen Narcosis
• Dive Planning.

The course costs 199Euro which includes the online code for the theory and the certification card. You do need to pay for kit hire you need. All students must complete a medical form, but you only need to see a doctor if you answer YES to any of the questions.

For more information on the SDI Deep Diver course, contact us on larnaca@dive-in.com.cy or visit our website at Dive-In Larnaca or the SDI/TDI website at SDI Deep Diver.
