What's Included in the Skills Enhancement Course?

6 PADI Specialty Courses & Master Scuba Diver Certification

Wreck Diver is one of 5 FREE PADI Specialties included with the Aquanauts Internship While PADI's core courses adequately prepare you to become a Divemaster or Open Water Instructor, to become truly skilled and employable, you need to round out your experience with PADI Specialty Courses. Our 2008 Skills Enhancement Course includes the six most-practical and marketable courses you can take. You'll get:

Deep Diver -- Before you can take take the Instructor Exam you need to have done a "deep" dive to the 40-meter recreational dive limit. This is the course that gets you certified to dive to that depth.
Peak Performance Buoyancy -- Improve your buoyancy and underwater control with the Peak Performance Buoyancy course. It's also one of just 3 PADI specialties you can teach as an OWSI, Peak Performance Buoyancy is a must-take course. After all, if you're going to teach it, you'll want to have taken the class as a student first!
Underwater Navigator -- One of the most important skills you need is the ability to navigate with a compass. You'll often have to rely on it to get you back to where you started. So take the class early in your internship and find your way to better training!
Search & Recovery Diver -- Like Peak Performance Buoyancy, Search & Recovery skills are also on your Instructor Exam. Learn to find, rig and bring to the surface various items. It's a fun, challenging and essential class.
Wreck Diver -- While you won't be tested on wreck skills during the Instructor Exam, no one wants to spend 2-6 months in Pattaya -- Thailand's Wreck Diving Capital -- and not have this course. Wrecks are what we do. You should too!
Enriched Air "Nitrox" Diver -- The most popular PADI specialty available, this course certifies you to dive on "Nitrox," a richer mix of oxygen to nitrogen that enables you to dive longer than on regular air. It's also a course your many of your students will ask you about, so you'll want to be able to tell them why they should take the course with you!

PADI Master Scuba Diver Certification -- Once you reach Rescue Diver and complete the five courses above, you'll be certified a Master Scuba Diver, the highest non-professional certification PADI offers and a great stepping stone to the professional Divemaster program.
