DARCO Żagań Dive Center invites you to dive in Kőbánya mine in Budapest. Note: Everything is set to the last button, i.e. we have the green light from Hungary for the dive as well as a nice hotel, and after the dive we invite you to visit Buda and Pest. For the trip we invite divers and sightseeing relaxers. On the eastern side of Budapest there is a labyrinth of limestone corridors and halls that is the Kőbánya mine. Many, even the city's iconic buildings, were built from limestone extracted from this fossil. In later times, wine producers used it as cellars and since the 20th century the Dreher brewery has owned the site. During World War II, it housed a hidden aircraft engine factory. Nowadays, some of the halls and corridors are underwater, so you can dive in the cold but also crystal clear water. Most of these flooded industrial parts of the mine can only be visited by certified cave divers, but one site is open to all divers. Don't expect a typical mine dive. For the most part, these are basically flooded rooms and corridors of the factory so you won't find rails just stairs. You don't have to be a certified cave diver to dive Molnar Janos Cave or Kobanya Mine. You must have at least an advanced diver certificate (AOWD) and you must be an experienced diver. If you have the necessary experience you can participate in Intro to cave diving (discover cave diving). If you do not have any cave qualification, the minimum requirements are: - Diver certificate at least Advanced - at least 50 logged dives with several night dives - good buoyancy control and swimming technique (frog kick) - experience with Twinset will be an added advantage.

Independent DivingThe Independent Diving specialization is designed for the most experienced divers. The knowledge you will gain during this training on diving techniques, as well as equipment, will allow you to become a more independent and informed diver . You will learn to independently identify and solve problems you may encounter underwater. Whether you use this knowledge to dive alone or to increase the safety of your team is up to you....Duration: 2 daysnumber of dives: 3Small groups: -3 peopleDiving solo or with a partnerIf you've found yourself here, it means you've accumulated quite a few diving experiences during your years as a diver. Both the good ones and the bad ones. You probably realize that diving without a partner involves more risks than diving with a partner. However, if you accept them, it will be our job to equip you with a set of skills to minimize these risks.During Independent Diving training, you will learn how diving alone differs from diving in a partner system. You will learn the advantages and disadvantages of both systems. We will not continue to insist that partner diving is the only right way. You will decide for yourself which path you want to follow, being fully aware of the consequences that follow.We can especially recommend this training to people who have no other diving option than to dive solo, whether for lack of a partner or the tasks they set for themselves underwater. Any underwater photographer understands how comfortable it is to swim in the littoral zone alone and focus only on taking pictures. If you are a dive guide and you are leading a group of certified divers on an underwater tour then most likely none of them is your partner. Also, in the situation of a casual partner you have to rely only on yourself and solve most of the problems by yourself, there is no guarantee that your partner will give you effective help. By completing the Independent Diving - Independent Diving training, your safety will be significantly improved.Hardware configurationCompleting dives without a partner requires the use of duplicate equipment. Here you will complete your adventure with a typical recreational setup. Depending on the equipment and skills you have, we will select the appropriate training cycle. You will learn how to prepare your equipment, how to match it to the conditions, how to use new pieces of equipment, and how to solve problems you may encounter above and below the water. Stage, twinset or sidemount and their operation will no longer be a challenge for you. They are just a tool to achieve your diving goalsAs an independent diver, you will be able to rely fully on your skills regardless of your partner's level of training. You will learn the procedures for using your setup in the event of various types of problems as well as malfunctions. We promise that this course will be very challenging. However, it will allow you to build proper confidence and stress management skills.Price: 1900 PLNIndividual course:2650 PLNPrerequisites: certification in Deep Diving, Navigation, Night & Limited Visibility once Diver Stress & Rescue or equivalent;18 years of age or older;75 logged dives.Sign up for training today and increase your safety on your next dives Contact us at 500 2661 68

As a nitrox diver, you will lengthen your bottom times and increase your safety margin on challenging dives. In addition, you'll shorten surface breaks - so you can spend more time diving, not waiting! In this course, you will learn new skills and increase your diving knowledge by learning about safe dive planning and performing dives with oxygen-enriched air up to 40% oxygen content. Upon completion of the course, you will receive an SSI Enriched Air Nitrox 32% or 40% Specialty Certificate. Nitrox (nitrox) - an oxygen-nitrogen mixture containing more than 21% oxygen. Reducing the amount of nitrogen in the mixture improves its properties for dives up to 40m. As a breathing medium, it is safer than air provided certain rules are followed. This is mainly about diving depth and exposure time. In the case of nitrox with 40% oxygen, you can use equipment (cylinder, breathing machine) used for air diving, when the oxygen content of the mixture exceeds 40%, you must use clean and oxygen-compatible equipment (otherwise an explosion may occur). Increasing the depth below 40m is not possible due to the toxic effects of oxygen at increased partial pressure above 1.6at or 1.4at depending on the diving organization. I present below some nitrox mixtures along with the limiting depths at a given maximum evaporative pressure. Currently, virtually no diving organization allows diving at an oxygen partial pressure greater than 1.4at. At the decompression stop oxygen partial pressure. additionally paid dives. information tel. 500 266 168

On September 13, 2014 in Croatia near the island of Žirje ( close to our diving base ) the wreck of a German dive bomber from World War II - Junkers JU 87 R-2 (Pike) - was discovered on the seabed. The aircraft is preserved in good condition, lying at a depth of 28 m for more than 70 years!JU 87 R-2 is a single-engine low-wing plane made entirely of metal (duralumin). It had fixed landing gear and the crew consisted of 2 people: a pilot and a rear gunner. Modular construction allowed the aircraft to be transported by truck or rail and to quickly replace parts directly on the battlefield. The original design of the wings 'broken' into the shape of the letter 'W' was Junkers' idea-this specific profile gave high lifting power, allowed takeoff and landing in a very short distance and increased the pilot's field of vision. The second distinctive feature of the JU 87 was the acoustic sirens ('Jericho trumpets') installed in the early period of the war, which were activated when the aircraft entered diving flight. The sound of the sirens caused panic on the ground. In addition, cardboard tubes were mounted to bombs attached to the aircraft, which caused an increasing swish as the plane fell. The aircraft was very modern at the time, but it also had a number of disadvantages. It was poorly armored, not very maneuverable and slow. The JU 87 without a fighter escort became an easy target. The 'Pike' was used until the last days of the war and was withdrawn from service in 1945. According to the available historical data, the most likely version assumes that the wreck lying off the island of Zhirje is one of the three bombers of the Italian squadron that took part in the bombing of the Yugoslavian fleet on April 12, 1941 near Sibenik. Two of them fell at the time: one was shot down, the other landed on the sea surface due to damage. The one found at Zirje, except for the missing engine, is fully complete and in very good condition-even resting on its wheels, as if it had made a smooth landing on the sea floor. The value of the discovery of the JU 87 R2 is of world stature-so far only 2 pieces have been found preserved in good condition-and they are now in museums in Chicago and London. After the 'Flying Fortress' B-17 found off Vis, this is the second military aircraft to be discovered in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea. The Junkers JU 87 R2 has been declared a licensed wreck and made available for recreational diving. The wreck lies at a depth of 28 meters and is available for recreational diving.... In addition, we have a proposal for another wreck Plavi Jadran - The wreck of a transport ship, is located near the island of Prvić. It is a relatively new wreck - it sank in 2018. The reason for the sinking was a collision with the Jadrolinia ferry, which struck the bow of the Plavi Jardan's side, tearing it completely. The wreck lies at a depth of 18 meters less than 100 meters from the island.It is gently overgrown with sponges and mussels, and the open hold preserved the cargo carried - gravel. In the open compartments a lot of various pieces of equipment are preserved.You can not enter them, but looking inside with a flashlight you can observe them. On the wreck, one often encounters sizable scorpionfish and shrews (Serranus scriba), with schools of Barwen (Mullus surmuletus) usually lounging on the bottom. Plavi Jadran is about 30 meters long and 5 meters wide, standing parallel to the island, gently tilted to the port side. The superstructure of the wreck is at 9 meters, and the deck is 12-14 meters below the surface. We dive in and surface at the lowering line to which our boat anchors. A very good place for a first wreck dive, for novice divers and juniors. Many of the world's best dive sites are wrecks. These impressive structures concentrate an unprecedented amount of marine life and allow you to immerse yourself in history while diving. There is no other like wreck diving, and the SSI Wreck Diving specialization will give you all the skills and knowledge you need to become a competent and safe wreck diver. Upon completion of the course, you will receive your SSI Wreck Diving specialization certificate. Continue your adventure and become a wreck diver. Start online today! Tel 500 266 168
