XTend

Whether you dive sidemount or DPV, this program hones both skills and mindsets, providing divers with the tools to extend their reach, increase safety, and navigate the underwater world with confidence, control, and precision. This training isn't about ticking boxes—it's about expanding your capabilities and reshaping your relationship with the diving environment. Diving with two cylinders teaches redundancy, self-reliance, and enhanced equipment awareness. Introducing DPV training brings a whole new dimension of freedom—covering greater distances with less effort, while propulsion, navigation, and gear are handled harmoniously. For divers seeking more than just dive time—for those who desire development, independence, and adaptability—this is where the journey deepens. Who is the XTend program for? You've laid your foundation—buoyancy, awareness, and comfort in the water have become second nature. Yet the ocean still hints at something more. You've watched divers with twinsets, side-mounted rigs, or powerful scooters glide further, dive longer, and effortlessly overcome challenges—and you've wondered: How do I get there? This is where XTend begins. This workshop is designed for divers who are confident in their fundamental skills but want to expand their abilities, versatility, and readiness for new environments and complex scenarios. It's for the diver who: - Has mastered the basics of diving but is eager to apply those skills to more advanced systems. - Wants redundancy through twin-cylinder configurations for increased safety and longer dive time to explore the underwater world more effectively. - Is ready to handle more complex equipment like side-mounted rigs or DPVs with confidence and control. - Understands the importance of preparation and planning but wants to apply that knowledge to new tools and techniques. - Is looking for more than just depth or distance—who instead seeks development, efficiency, and independence underwater. Requirements for participation: 18 years old, at least OWD-certified & ideally already completed the XBasic workshop.
