Five skills that differentiate between an ordinary diver and a complete diver that combines performance, safety and awareness.
The complete diver is not only one who reaches the deepest depth, but also one who combines multiple skills in conscious presence.
Mastering breathing, balance, movement, and equipment. The foundation upon which everything else rests.
Good reading of currents, depths, objects, and forecasting changes.
Emergency management, dealing with other divers, and correct stopping decisions.
Clear communication with the partner and team and agreement on plans.
Diving with the least possible impact on the environment and raising awareness of others.
The complete diver is rare but a model worth striving for.
