PADI Boat Handler

PADI Boat Handler Distinctive Specialty

Not satisfied with just diving from powerboats and want to experience the thrill of driving one at 30 knots? Then the PADI Boat Handler Distinctive Specialty is what you’re looking for and more. The PADI Boat Handler Distinctive Specialty runs exactly the same as the RYA Level 2 Powerboat Course and in fact you will get a dual certification and the opportunity to apply for an International Certificate of Competence, ICC, in planning power craft up to 10 metres.

The course covers all you need to know for self-sufficient powerboating at a basic level. The course includes launching, mooring, anchoring and recovery plus all the boat driving skills required for basic competence in a powerboat. High speed manoeuvres, man overboard, the use of GPS, as well as coastal navigation, tides and weather are all included. After completing the course you will be self-sufficient in handling a powerboat in the right conditions, aware of your own limitations and those of your craft.
