Overview
Some of the world’s finest dive sites are defined by current — carrying divers effortlessly over garden reefs, down dramatic canyon walls, and past concentrations of pelagic life found nowhere else. This specialty teaches you to read and exploit water movement, time entry and exit with current flow, deploy surface marker buoys for boat pickup, and plan drift dives safely and confidently. The Red Sea’s legendary current sites are best enjoyed as a certified drift diver. Prerequisite: Open Water Diver.
