Exped planning

A military expedition takes you on an adventures training experience to learn new skills and face new challenges. Choose scuba diving for your exped and create a plan that you can build upon.

“Sub-Aqua diving is an adventurous activity, which fosters self-reliance, leadership, initiative and courage; it also develops self-confidence and self-discipline as well as physical strength and powers of endurance.”
- Joint Service Sub-Aqua Diving Regulations (JSSADR’s) 01 Apr 08.

What makes a military scuba diving expedition go well?

Well, in addition to adventurous diving in exotic locations, with varied experiences and facing new challenges... the simple answer is lots of paperwork and prior preparation! This is completed by the expedition leader, SADS and Instructors months before the actual date so that the expedition goes without a hitch.

This daunting fact is one that often befalls the young Officer, tasked with organising a scuba diving expedition for the first time. Fear not!
