Who can benefit from the Experienced Diver Test?


The Experienced Diver Test is designed specifically for divers with extensive underwater experience but who cannot demonstrate their skills with an official certification. This may be the case for divers who have lost their certification, never received a certification, or were trained as military, professional, rescue, or scientific divers. This test allows them to have their knowledge and skills officially recognized.

How does the Experienced Diver Test work?


The Experienced Diver Test puts your diving skills and knowledge to the test. You'll be quizzed on dive theory and emergency procedures, and then you'll have to show us you can actually do the dives. It's a pretty thorough check to make sure you're ready for more advanced diving.
