Australia Photography Schools
Becoming an Advanced Scuba Diver
Just like school, learning is progress. You can’t simply remain at the same level year in and year out. Scuba diving requires the same progression. First, interested scuba divers have to enroll themselves in basic scuba diving courses. After they have obtained the fundamental skills and the needed knowledge of the underwater hobby, then they can proceed to the advanced level.
The next step is the Advanced Open Water Diver Course or what is simply known as the AOW. Here, advanced scuba skills are directly applied to the marine sport scuba diving. A card from the AOW is issued to the diver who passes this course.
This card must be presented at several diving areas in countries such as Australia, Malaysia and the Philippines because they won’t allow you to dive at advanced locations if you don’t have the AOW card.
Operators wouldn’t want to take the risk of putting Open Water divers to an advanced level. They would have a harder time coping with rocky currents or dangerous, azure water environments.
An advanced scuba diver must be knowledgeable of the education ahead of him. There are 5 dives required for the completion of the Advanced Open Water Diving Course. The required 2 basic Core dives are Underwater Navigation and Deep Navigation.
The scuba diver has the liberty to select which three remaining Adventure Dives he would like to master. The course is targeted specially for certified divers who want to gain more experience, obtain more knowledge and gain more practical skills.
The most popular Adventure Dives are 1.) Underwater Photography or Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive 2.) Underwater Navigation or Naturalist Dive and 3.) Night and Deep and Photography Dives.
Examples of advanced scuba diving tips:
1. In the navigation dive, you will be taught how to use the compass better for natural navigational aids that will assist you in your underwater journey.
2. In deep diving, you will be allowed to dive 18 meters or 60 feet. After having completed the course, then you will be allowed to go beyond that range and reach 30 meters or 100 feet.
3. In adventure dive, you will be able to explore diving like observing the underwater lide and plants.
After knowing, the basics of diving, there is the desire to acquire knowledge and skills for more diving enjoyment. As a diver, have you ever tried surfacing far, far from the crew boat you were in then have that long indepedent swim back? Having obtained advanced scuba diving lessons would allow you to do so – with confidence.

Photography and Australia by Ennis, Helen Edition ILL, 0 $23.99 With its moving landscapes and famously independent cultural traditions, Australia is uniquely suited to having its national narrative told through visual documentation. Helen Ennis gathers here a selection of photographs that recount the story of Australia, and through this visual chronicle, she uncovers a distinctively Australian visual culture. The striking images featured in Photography and Australia, drawn from the National Library of Australia and other public collections, powerfully document the iconic sights of the rugged Australian landscape such as the imposing Ayers Rock, as well as documentary photographs, wilderness shots, post-mortem studies of bushrangers, and other images both quotidian and extraordinary. One of the leading photography historians in Australia, Ennis argues that the colonial experience is a central element of these visual testaments, and embedded within this experience are the tumultuous relations between white settlers and Aboriginal peoples.Her analysis explores how the photographs reveal the racial, social, and political tensions woven throughout Australian history, ranging from modern works by Aboriginal photographers to archival photographs of desolate mining towns and the peoples who eked out their living from the brutal terrain. The photographers’ personal perspectives are also embedded in the images, Photography and Australia argues, and the book examines how photographers’ responses to place, modernity, and globalization were expressed through their works.            Photography and Australia unearths an original and engaging perspective on Australian history, weaving a wealth of vibrant images into a compelling account that will appeal to the Aussie in all of us.  |
