HURGHADA - TECH WORKSHOPS

 

Coaching towards The Difference

KEEP IT GOING…
Diving is an amazing activity. You know it very well… because otherwise you would not be here. It is addictive and rewarding, it gives fun and thrill, and it makes you feel free and bounded to the sea at the same time.

You also know that the more you dive, the more comfort you get – the water is more friendly, the buoyancy not killing and the flooded mask not tragic. But would you like to get to the “comfy point” faster and easier? Let us help you to speed up & kick off into the easy, relaxed and more fun diving. We can work on your buoyancy, trim and balance, basic skills, swimming techniques and much more: whatever you think can be improved – we can try to get you there.

Sometimes it would take only one day of challenging work and then after you can start to feel The Big Difference.

If you would like to improve anything about your diving – just ask for a DIVE WORKSHOP. The idea behind it is that you can work individually with an instructor experienced in particular field on any skill, technique or a aspect of your diving – whether it is just overcoming a small problem or introducing a new technique or equipment.

The workshops are normally done during dives from the beach, but they can also be done on a diving day on the boat. It can be one day or multiple days. You will get theoretical introduction, hands-on-experience and a good feedback on what you have to work on to become a confident and satisfied diver.

Just get started…


Fine-tune the Buoyancy

Have you wondered why some just hang in mid water motionless while you fight for survival? Why your air consumption is not letting you to stay for one-hour dive? Why some just make small movements and efficiently glide thru water while you get tired after most of the dives? There are some reasons behind it – and there are not because the other guys are …. Fishes. The BUOYANCY WORKSHOP takes minimum one day and its goal is to show you the secrets of good buoyancy control. It includes the ways of proper weighting, positioning in the water (trim and balance), introduction to swimming techniques, breathing techniques and good equipment fitting. You will get quite lot of theory, practical hints and hands-on-experience. The workshop should take minimum one day with two dives. The training dives are filmed, so after the dives you get good feedback and tip how to work on own improvement.

Just get the best out of dive skills & have the dive holiday.


Lets keep swimming… lets keep swimming….

That is more then the classing fin movement that can move you thru water – you can learn to use different techniques both for swimming above the reef and for moving close by sandy bottom, both for inside wreck cruising and for letting the tired muscles rest while fighting with current, not even speaking about swimming backwards. The instructor making the program will show you different swimming techniques – frog kick, modified frog kick, modified flutter kick, backward kick and helicopter turns (how to turn yourself on a spot). You will get films to look at, some practice on land, exercises on the surface (when needed), and of course dives. The training dives are filmed, so after the dives you get good feedback and tip how to work on own improvement.

Get it going with it and put some effectiveness and finesse into your diving.


TWIN INTRO

Did a voice of your reason tell you on a deep diver that the gas in your single tank might not be enough? Or maybe you wonder how to deal with a situation when your regulator o-ring fails and you experience a critical gas loss and there is still quite long way to go up?

A good solution is to dive with double tanks – twinset/doubles. We can offer you a TWIN INTRO Program that is designed to prepare an experienced dive to wisely use a set of double tanks. We explain the idea behind the equipment configuration, how is it giving you more advantage and safety, how to react in cases of regulator / valve / out of gas failures and how to manage the buoyancy with the doubles. It is required more knowledge, more equipment, more smart dive planning but the advantage you gain is massive: more safety = more time = more fun.

Get the chance to get longer deeper safer divers & explore the deep Hurghada.

All divers not having certification in any of recognized technical association need to make the program before renting / using double sets.


DIR INTRO

The concept of Doing It Right has gained on popularity – and there are reasons behind it. The concept is so simple and successful that not only technical or experienced divers can get the advantage of it. Even a beginner, not very experience diver can seize the opportunity to feel the difference. The DIR INTRO program is designed for those interested in trying the plate + harness + wing set for buoyancy control and DIR set of regulators (with so called “the long hose”). The Program includes theoretical introduction into that concept (from equipment only perspective). You will learn about its advantages, you can convince yourself that it is more comfortable as it looks at first glance and that the long hose is not for hanging yourself… or your buddy.


SCOOTER

Have you ever imagine diving without any effort? Just sliding ... against the currenst? Just checking what is behind that corner...and the next one and the next one? Going to places that other people never will reach because it is too far? Well.. if you have ever imagined that you ARE ready to take the challenge of real scooter diving. At Colona we have 3 Sierra X-scooters for rental. Just after one guided dive under supervision of experienced instuctor, short training and lecture you may take the advantage and ... GO! You will get amazed how much easier some dives are, how much more you can see and how much more fun you will have! Get a ride ... and become scooter-addicted :)
