Life on board is simple, punctuated by the ship's progress, the weather, the expedition program, moments of relaxation and animal encounters. Meals are taken on board or in the field during the bivouacs and are prepared from the stocks available on board by a person in charge of the supplies and the kitchen. The meals are shared at the table by the whole team. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, "dive returns" or "race returns" are taken hot upon arrival on board. Everyone participates daily in washing up, helping with the preparation of meals and cleaning the boat. Each person has a bunk and storage space that constitutes his or her private space. Comforters and sleeping bags are available. Sheets and sackcloth must be brought by each student (see practical information).
The course is under the responsibility of the expedition leader, who decides - in collaboration with the dive leader and the skipper - the daily program according to the weather, the needs of the expedition and the divers' wishes. The dives are supervised by one of the members of the expedition, an experienced instructor, who will ensure the level of the divers and will present them the organization and the specific techniques of the environment.
Depending on the destination, check with the embassy to see if a visa is required. In all cases, the passport must be valid for the duration of the trip.
UTP Explorer covers the boat and its crew with third-party insurance. Interns must subscribe individually to a third-party (liability) insurance (accident, search, repatriation, decease...) for all the risks due to the activities done during the internship. A cancelling insurance and luggage lost is highly recommanded.
Diving and hiking require a good physical condition. It is also essential to be able to embark and disembark alone from the boat via the semi-rigid dinghy.
Only offshore courses require a minimum of sailing knowledge and experience. For the other courses, the trainees are invited to join the crew for the maneuvers and the navigation watches, according to their skills.
Required experience
Each diver must be autonomous and have a minimum experience:
