The RAID Advanced 35 Diver course goes beyond simply extending your range as a diver. This course is specifically designed to enhance your diving experience and provide training in the safe use of scuba equipment at depths of up to 35 meters without requiring decompression stops. In addition to refining core skills, the course also covers essential diver rescue concepts.
The RAID Advanced 35 Diver program I offer, which takes place in Malta and Gozo. The course more demanding than the RAID Explorer 30 course and is for divers with a minimum of four hours of logged in-water experience. This course involves three confined water dives and six open water dives, providing an opportunity for divers to push their limits and enhance their skills. The challenge is there for those who are ready to take it on!
The main objective of this course is to expand your depth range to 35 meters while stressing the importance of meticulous planning and collaborative teamwork. In addition to covering fundamental rescue skills, the course's focus is not solely on depth; it also aims to enhance your overall competency as a safe and competent diver.
ONLINE LEARNING
The study portion of the RAID Advanced 35 Diver course is completed online before you join us for your course here in Gozo, Malta.
INWater Skills
The in-water skills dives take place in protected areas, enabling you to refine the techniques introduced by your me in a step-by-step manner.
Open Water dives
Once you've mastered the skills in a relaxed manner, I will take you on dives to complete the final RAID Advanced 35 Diver certifying dives.
To certify as a RAID Advanced 35 Diver, you are required to accomplish all three confined water dives and six open water dives, two of which are deep dives. Additionally, there is a navigation dive, a buoyancy check dive, and a rescue dive that you must undertake, along with one elective dive that you can select following a brief discussion with your instructor and dive team.
The first part of this training is the academic section, which is open to anyone and can be completed independently. The second section is the practical session, where you will have the opportunity to work with an instructor to acquire the underwater skills required for this level of training and obtain certification. The program includes downloadable PDF manuals, divided into nine sections that cover essential subjects in detail.

Toby was a great instructor. I thoroughly enjoyed my diving with him in Gozo. The dives we did we amazing, I had a great experience!

Before working with Toby, I'd never dived. Now I confidently dive 40m wreck on nitrox. I owe that entirely to his teaching, encouragement and (in no small measure) his patience. Both in and out of the water, his instruction and professionalism dispelled any anxieties I had and ensured I felt safe throughout.
