The unique NDL underwater stunt training program, created by order of the International Stunt Diver School (ISDS), has no analogues either in the global diving training system or in the global film industry and the international stunt community. This program was developed by specialists from the international SHADOW SQUAD team and the NDL Russian Diving underwater club, one of the oldest diving centers in Russia.
Methodological development and testing of the program were carried out with the participation of the Action Unit company, known for staging stunts in such films as: "Crew", "Legend No. 17", "Stalingrad", "T 34", "Landing", "Thunder Gates" and many others. Elements of the program were tested during the training of actors and stuntmen of the Chernobyl film project by Danila Kozlovsky and during the filming of the film's underwater stunts. And the NDL Intro Underwater Stunt course program was used to train actors in the underwater filming of the film "Couple from the Future."
The program consists of 4 levels, which are designed for different audiences of students and differ in complexity, intensity and duration.
