Admiralty Dive Center Training

Monkey Diving!

The guys at Red Sea Explorers have introduced us to a fun new way to dive, Monkey Diving. It's fun, it's
different, and let's face it it's got a goofy name, who wouldn't want to at least try it once. Come join the
workshop where you learn how to setup your gear, how to sling your bottle, and manage your buoyancy.
This is rather fun for dry suit divers, and a unique challenge (READ: VERY DIFFICULT) for wetsuit divers in
7mm wetsuits.

To monkey dive bring your harness and plate, leave your wing at home. If you don't have a plate and
harness, call and reserve one of our rentals!

Cost: Free
Next workshop begins: April 26.

Preserving Maritime History--A primer in underwater archeology

In this special course and activity program you become a valued member of the community involved in
documenting and preserving our maritime heritage. As the years pass many historically significant items
are lost to the elements, changing bathymetry, and human attempts to protect the environment. Bottle
hunting and artifact hunting is a popular activity in the diving community, however even the smallest
piece of bottle or collection of ballast rocks is important in understanding and documenting naval history.
The Northern Puget Sound and Straits of Juan de Fuca are rich with maritime history in the form of
wrecks, dunnage, and wharfage along waterfront communities. As a student in the program you will
become a key participant in the vital project to document and preserve history. The course itself teaches
you the basics of underwater surveying, documenting your findings, and identification/research
techniques.

Cost: $25 (includes fees for JC historical archives)
Next class series begins: April 29 @ 6:00pm

Trim and Buoyancy--A hands-on seminar

Let's take some time to play with our gear and get our weights and tanks where they need to be in
relation to our personal center of effort. We will review trim and buoyancy techniques as well as have the
opportunity to dry test your equipment and weighting placement.

Cost: $50 (includes gift card for ADC)
Classes: April 19 @ 6:00 pm

Gas Management and Dive Planning

Most of us know it's not a good idea to try and go to 200fsw on an aluminium 80, but there's more to dive
planning than that. Find out how to calculate your consumption rates including SAC and RMV. Learn
about rock-bottom times and how they can help you plan your dive with respect to your cylinder volume.

Cost: Free
Classes: April 17 @ 6:00 pm
