DRIFT DIVER

---

Diving in a current can feel like flying underwater. In the PADI® Drift Diver course, you’ll learn drift diving tips from an experienced instructor and practice buoyancy control, navigation, use of surface signaling equipment and buddy communication.

• Try drift diving with an instructor
• Feel confident diving in a current
• Learn about aquatic currents - causes and effects

• Use surface signaling equipment
• Stay close to your buddy
• Make entries and descents in a current

 Scuba diving in a current can be both relaxing and exhilarating. You may slowly glide over a reef, or zoom over an underwater landscape so fast it feels like flying. By the end of your drift diver course, you’ll have the skills you need to confidently go with the flow.
