Rescue Skills: Self-rescue basics and how to help a tired buddy.

Gear check, then straight into the water.

Day 2: Deep Diving & Electives

We move to Havelock’s deeper sites.

Dive 3 (Deep): Down to 30m+. You experience nitrogen narcosis in a controlled setting and manage your air supply.
Dive 4 (Elective): Options include Drift Diving, Boat Diving, or Search & Recovery.

Day 3: Final Dives (Flexible)

Dive 5 (Deep/Rescue): Confirming your skills at 35m and running through rescue scenarios.
Certification: Log your dives. Done.

The RAID Advantage: 35m vs 30m

When searching for RAID courses, divers often ask how this differs from PADI Advanced.

The depth difference:

PADI Advanced Open Water: Certifies you to 30 Meters.
RAID Advanced 35: Certifies you to 35 Meters.

Why it matters:
Several shipwrecks and deep pinnacles sit just below 30m. With RAID, you have an extra 5 metres of trained depth, letting you reach sites that other divers have to skip.

Itinerary: Includes mandatory deep and navigation dives, plus a focused buoyancy workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What prerequisites do I need for RAID Advanced 35?

You need RAID Open Water 20 (or equivalent from PADI, SSI, or any ISO-recognised agency) plus a minimum of 10 logged dives. If you are close on dive count, talk to us and we can help you build up before the course.

How deep will I dive during RAID Advanced 35?

You work up to 35m during the course. Deep dive training covers gas management, narcosis awareness, and decompression theory at depth. 35m opens up nearly all recreational dive sites worldwide.

What's the difference between RAID Advanced 35 and PADI Advanced Open Water?

PADI AOW certifies to 30m with 5 adventure dives. RAID Advanced 35 certifies to 35m with more focused training on buoyancy, navigation, and deep diving. RAID uses performance-based assessments rather than experience-only dives. Both are solid. RAID gives you 5m more depth.

How long does the RAID Advanced 35 course take?

The course runs 2 to 3 days with 4 training dives. If you complete the eLearning theory at home before your trip, you start diving on day one. We use sites like Nemo Reef, Jackson’s Bar, and The Wall.
