SCUBA Courses - Speciality Courses
Overview
Both PADI and BSAC offer training in “specialities”. These are courses that don't give the diver a higher grade but do add to the qualification they already have. The prime example of such a course is Enriched Air Diving or “Nitrox”. Both PADI and BSAC offer such courses, called “Specialities” in PADI and “Skill Development Courses” in BSAC.
BlueFish Diving are currently able to offer a number of PADI Specialities, which can found below. If you would like to have a BSAC Skill Development Course, we can happily arrange this with our BSAC National Instructor.
Project Aware
A classroom based speciality aimed at raising awareness of the sea and the issues surrounding it. Project Aware is very good for a school presentation.

A diver near the corals - good buoyancy control is essential here for the diver and aquatic life. |
Knowing how to get your buoyancy right at all times takes a bit of time and practice but once learnt will alter the way you dive forever. This course will help you get there!

Enriched Air (Nitrox)
Enriched Air (EAN), or Nitrox as it has become known, gives the diver new scope. However, it requires careful planning and a full knowledge of the factors surrounding mixed gas use. This course will give the diver a good understanding of dive planning and safety considerations, and allow the diver to use up to a 40% O2 mixture.

Underwater Photography
With the prices of underwater camera units coming down all the time, many divers find that underwater photography is within their reach. However, there are a few considerations, both with photographic technique and camera housing maintenance, that will greatly increase your chances of producing a photo epic rather than a suffering a disaster!
This course will teach you the basics of good underwater photography.

Deep Dive
Diving deeper can be very enjoyable, but there are increased risks in doing so. The Deep Diver speciality will teach divers about the increased risks, whilst also allowing them to gain experience with an instructor.
