We conducted the Deep and Enriched Air training dives Laem Thien. The candidates where presenting skills from the diver level courses they will be teaching after completion of their Specialty training. These skills included demonstrating the effect of pressure at 30m, as well as the effect of colour absorption at depth.

Wreck, DUP and Naturalist were completed today at Twin Peaks and Japanese gardens.

Now the Specialty training is complete its time for part 2 of the MSDT program; The Instructor Internship. The Internship involves team teaching with experienced instructors at Crystal Dive resort in order to achieve a wide range of experience teaching all levels of PADI courses.
