Boat Diving. Introduction. The anchor chain clatters and engines drone down and sputter silent; you’ve arrived. You and your buddy help each other gear up with anticipation; this dive promises to be great. For this dive, there’s no long surface swim or entries through surf because you’re only 15 metres/50 feet from the dive site – 15 metres/50 feet above it. You enter the water, and in moments, you and your buddy descent to the site.
Experiences like these attract divers to boat diving; in fact, virtually all divers end up diving from a boat sooner or later, whether it’s a skiff or a giant live-aboard sailboat. Yet surprisingly, some divers learn to dive and make dozens of dives before they ever set foot on a dive boat; others learn to dive from one type of boat, but have little experience diving from others. If you fit in either group, the Boat Adventure Dive will speed your transition to diving from boats or boats you’re not familiar with. Advantages of boat diving.
