PADI D.S.M.B Diver Specialty March 2022
We will be running the PADI Delayed Surface Marker Buoy Diver course on Saturday 12th February and Sunday 13th March.
The classroom and pool orientation will take place on Saturday 12th March from 1pm, the Open Water qualifying dives will be held on Sunday 13th March.
Surface Marker Buoys should be an integral part of your scuba dive gear. They are an important piece of safety equipment, every diver should own one.
The purpose of the DSMB Diver specialty course is to give you the knowledge and skills to safely deploy your DSMB/SMB, to know when and where to use it, and to give you a chance to practice these skills in a safe environment rather than on your first boat dive, which could cause problems.
Surface Marker Buoys serve a range of purposes. They are used to:
- Allow shore cover / boat support an ascending diver
- Allow boat crew to keep track of buddy teams on a drift dive
- Alert boat traffic to the presence of a diver
- Provide a visual reference and line for ascending divers

The water temperature in March is usually around 7 degrees, we HIGHLY recommend you are Drysuit trained before taking this course for thermal protection. If you are not drysuit trained, we are running the PADI Drysuit Course lake dives over this weekend, with the pool orientation on Sunday 13th February, take that course instead or as well, we can then arrange to do the D.S.M.B course with you another time or over both days instead of 1 day.
