Mission Statement
The Deep Diver Specialty course qualifies you to dive up to a depth of 40m. and is ideal for extending your range to explore reefs, wrecks and marine life at deeper recreational limits.
You’ll learn about deep dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques and hazards. You will be able to put this knowledge to the test as you complete 4 open water dives that range from 18 – 40 metres / 60 – 130 feet.
When you dive below 18 metres/60 feet, there are special safety considerations. If you’re ready to expand your boundaries, a PADI Instructor will help you gain the skills and confidence to explore to a maximum depth of 40 metres/130 feet.
During the Deep Diver course, you’ll learn how to plan deep dives, manage your gas supply and how to identify and manage narcosis. You’ll learn about buddy contact procedures, safety considerations and buoyancy control at depth.
Your training starts by reviewing reasons for deep diving and how important it is to know your personal limits.
During four deep dives with your instructor, you’ll go over:
- Specialized deep diving equipment.
- Deep dive planning, buddy contact procedures and buoyancy control.
- Managing your gas supply, dealing with gas narcosis and safety considerations.
- Make deep dives with an instructor
- See more of the underwater world
- Dive to a maximum depth of 40m/130ft
