DBA: Diving Dynamics Kelowna, BC Canada (PCTIA # 705)
CDI has gained a significant amount of experience in providing PLAR Training and Upgrading for both International Divers and Domestic Restricted Surface Supplied Divers who are seeking out the Unrestricted rating. In order to save applicants time and money CDI has developed a online pre-assessment exam and course content review modules. By having applicants prepare for the DCBC / CSA competency examinations with detailed online presentations the students will be well prepared to meet with CDI staff once they arrive at school. While at school, CDI Instructors will prescriptively cover off any remaining topics that the students need brushing up on prior to writing the final exam.
PLAR reviews can be conducted for all levels of training. Possibly you need a Commercial NITROX / Gas Blending qualification. Where you a Recreational Enriched Air Instructor with work experience? Talk to Admissions and we'll explain how we can help.
