Diving Courses for Cave and Scuba Diving in One Tree Hill
Welcome to Dive Essentials, based in One Tree Hill in South Australia.
My focus is on teaching divers who already know how to dive and want to refine and perfect their dive skills and knowledge. I have been involved in exploration diving for 20 years and the courses I teach are heavily customised.
Adelaide is well-positioned with some of Australia's most spectacular technical diving in the underwater caves of Mount Gambier and the Nullarbor plains. These sites are not only awesome dives but perfect training sites.
CDAA Intro to Cave
This course teaches the setup and use of twin tanks.
It is not necessary to have prior experience. Although this can help there is also value in being taught to do it right from the start. Many people practice and struggle to achieve a skill when a simple adjustment can make the skill straightforward and easy.
Courses can be structured to allow time to practice before we go to Mount Gambier.
TDI Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures
This is an ideal companion course for the Deep Cavern course as it covers the decompression component absent in that course and which is relevant for anyone doing multiple 40m dives in a day or who wants to extend bottom time and get the most out of their dive.
There are no extra experience requirements for this course and divers can do it immediately after Deep Cavern. The dives done during this course will contribute to the dive experience requirements of Cave and the Shaft and the extra skill refinement will help during Cave, and even Advanced Cave as stage tank use is taught.
