Specialty Sessions

Specialty sessions range from a few hours of theory & practical techniques to a half-day of adventure with cave or sled diving!  The specialty sessions were created by J-J to give the individual in a safe and fun way, a chance to expose and challenge themselves more mentally than physically, adding more tools to their box!
