Why Water Movement Matters
Many diving incidents are linked to poor understanding of environmental conditions. In this course, you’ll learn how to identify and evaluate wave height and frequency, predict tidal impacts on entry and exit points, and safely plan dives in areas affected by longshore and vertical currents.
