Padi SMB Diver Specialty Course with Scubaworld on the Costa Blanca

SMB Diver Specialty Course Whether   you're   planning   on   coastal   diving   like   in   the   Northsea   or   on   your   holiday   to   Egypt,   having   a   Surface Marker   Buoy   (SMB)   will   increase   your   safety   and   comfort   and   will   alert   boat   traffic   and   other   divers   to   your location.

If   you're   ever   involved   in   drift   diving   from   a   boat   then   a   delayed   SMB   will   allow   your   boat   skipper   to   follow   your dive   and   pick   you   up   promptly   upon   surfacing.   They   are   also   a   great   visual   reference   on   your   ascents   too.   For example   the   majority   of   dive   boat   skippers   operating   in   the   UK   are   now   requesting   that   you   use   an   SMB   and many more will follow, so it really goes without saying that this course is a must for anyone wishing to sea dive

Course Content The course consists of a knowledge development presentation and 2 open water dives which will cover: • Why use a DSMB / SMB? • Tides and currents • Types of Surface Marker Buoys • Types of reels • Methods of delayed SMB deployment • Risks and hazards of SMB use • Preparing the delayed SMB for use

The   PADI   SMB   specialty   course   will   teach   you   the   safest   and   easiest   techniques   to   efficiently   deploy   a   delayed SMB whilst static underwater and also whilst swimming

Knowledge Development Knowledge   Development   is   based   on   a   self-study   method,   allowing   you   to   study   in   your   own time,    at    your    own    pace.    Home    study    is    backed    up    by    an    academic    session    with    a    PADI Instructor, to ensure full understanding of surface marker buoy theory

Open Water Dives Here in the Mediterranean on the Costa Blanca students will complete 2 Open Water dives to certify as a PADI SMB Diver. During these dives students will demonstrate the ability to deploy a surface marker buoy from both a stationary and hovering position, as well as using the SMB line as an ascent reference.
