Training Philosophy
So what makes our programs different? Our philosophy on training and our extensive diving experience!
Whether you are a newbie wanting to MASTER the skills of the EXPERT RECREATIONAL DIVER or an experienced diver wanting to GO BEYOND and venture into: DEEPER WATERS, the historic mystery of an UNEXPLORED SHIPWRECK or experience the thrill and beauty of an UNDERWATER CAVE – we have a program for you. We believe life is an adventure to be experienced!
IT IS NOT THE MOMENTS WE BREATH
IT’S THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY
Mass-market sports may be great but they are not for everyone. Some of us want to live a bit more on the edge and experience the thrilling freedom of a past era where your skills, knowledge and common sense kept you safe – not a set of archaic rules & regulations. Regulations and limitations are a necessity of mass marketing, but they unfortunately make it difficult to find quality training and activities catering to a more adventurous and independent spirit. We realize this and that is what has set Mike Ange Expeditions (MAX) and Sub-Aquatic Survivor (SAS) Programs apart from everyone else for over a decade.
There are basically two models for training divers - click here for more information.
You can find shorter and cheaper programs – so if that is your focus we are probably not the program for you! We cater to those who want to be masters – masters of their leisure activities and masters of their own destiny. If swimming in a roped off sea with a divemaster holding your hand appeals to you, there are a million options available. But if you want the training and knowledge to make your own decisions, to set your own level of risk acceptance and/or enter a playground experienced by only a small percentage of divers – you have just arrived at your destination.
It does not matter if your goals are a tropical reef well within recreational limits OR cutting edge deep wrecks in 100 meters (330 fsw) of water, we will challenge you with some of the world’s most noted instructors using proven instructional methods and some of diving’s most exacting performance standards. If you accept this challenge, YOU WILL leave a SAFER, BETTER, MORE CONFIDENT and MORE SELF RELIANT DIVER – A DIVER WITH REAL SKILLS for the REAL WORLD, not just exposure to knowledge – we guarantee it. And while we are at it – we will have a hell of a good time doing it!
Still think you have what it takes? Good – SIGN UP – RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW – no excuses. JUST DO IT – email us to register on-line for the course of your choice – WE DARE YOU! Just do not delay, especially if you are interested in our signature courses, these programs have become status symbols but we can only do a couple of them each year (usually 1 of each type) and enrollment is VERY LIMITED – mediocre spirits need not apply.
WE KEEP DIVING AN ADVENTUROUS LIFESTYLE
