What to Expect in the RAID Explorer 30 Course
The RAID Explorer 30 course is designed to help divers build confidence and enhance their dive skills. This course consists of theoretical lessons, confined water training, and five open-water dives. The two primary dive sites for this course are Dauin, known for its muck diving and diverse marine life, and Apo Island, a protected marine sanctuary famous for its clear waters and vibrant coral reefs.
- Theoretical Knowledge:
The course begins with theoretical lessons covering dive physics, dive planning, gas management, and how to handle deeper dive situations. You will also learn about underwater navigation, including using a compass and natural navigation techniques, which are essential for exploring dive sites beyond your previous limits. These concepts will provide the foundation for your more advanced dives. - Confined Water Skills:
Before heading out to the open water, you'll practice essential skills in confined water (pool or shallow area). These skills will include buoyancy control, air management, and emergency procedures to ensure you are prepared for deeper dives. Mastering these skills is key to your safety and comfort as you progress to deeper dive sites. - Two Dives at Dauin:
The first two dives of the course will take place at Dauin, one of the most unique dive locations in the Philippines. Known for its muck diving, Dauin’s underwater world is a haven for critters like seahorses, frogfish, and cuttlefish, offering you the chance to see some rare and fascinating species. Here, you will practice your buoyancy control and learn to navigate in the often challenging conditions of muck diving while gaining experience in depths up to 20 meters (66 feet). - Three Dives at Apo Island:
After completing the Dauin dives, you will continue your adventure at Apo Island. Apo Island is one of the most well-known and protected marine sanctuaries in the world. Its clear waters, vibrant coral gardens, and abundance of marine life make it the perfect place to take your skills to the next level. During the three dives at Apo Island, you’ll have the opportunity to dive to depths of up to 30 meters (100 feet), practicing your underwater navigation and becoming comfortable in deeper dive conditions. Expect to encounter diverse marine life, including sea turtles, schools of tropical fish, and beautiful coral reefs.

By the end of the RAID Explorer 30 course, you will have mastered key scuba diving skills that will allow you to confidently dive deeper and navigate a variety of dive environments. Key skills include:
