What you will learn:

Move efficiently in any situation.

A key skill as a canyoneer is to have the skill and knowledge to move efficiently on a rope, both up and down. This module covers the basics of canyoning single rope technique (SRT). You will learn how to descend using an improvised device, manage your friction, pass a re-belay and deviation as well as ascending and converting from ascent to descent on the rope.

Many canyons around the world are aquatic, and this program also covers movement in water from identifying hazards, white water swimming to river crossing and duck diving. In addition, learn communication techniques and signals.
