How do I conduct the Aqua Comfort Assessment for Independent Diver students?
Before Open Water Dive 2, student divers must show they can remain comfortable in water too deep to stand in. Each student diver must complete a 10‐minute swim/float without any assistance. Additionally, before receiving certification, students must complete either a 200‐meter continuous surface swim or a 300‐meter swim while wearing a mask, fins, and snorkel.
Students may wear an exposure suit as long as they are weighted for neutral buoyancy
