The PADI Deep Diver course is an exhilarating adventure that allows you to explore the depths of the underwater world.
You will be able to safely plan and conduct dives into greater depths to explore dives sites which are out of the reach of regular recreational scuba divers.

Online Learning

The eLearning portion of the course provides you with interactive presentations, videos, quizzes, and knowledge reviews that cover topics such as dive planning, decompression theory, nitrogen narcosis, and deep diving equipment. You’ll learn about the potential risks associated with deep diving and how to manage them effectively, ensuring your safety throughout the course.

Deep Open Water Training Dives

Once you’ve completed the eLearning portion, it’s time for the hands-on training. You’ll join a qualified PADI instructor who will guide you through a series of exciting dives in progressively deeper waters. During these dives, you’ll apply the knowledge gained from the eLearning portion and practice important skills specific to deep diving. You’ll learn how to use specialized equipment like dive computers and underwater lights, as well as techniques for managing gas supply, buoyancy control, and navigation in the depths.

As you descend deeper, you’ll experience the unique sensations and challenges associated with diving at greater depths, including the effects of increased pressure, reduced visibility, and the possibility of nitrogen narcosis.

However, under the guidance of your instructor, you’ll learn how to manage these factors and fully enjoy the incredible sights and marine life that exist in the deep.

Certification

By the end of the PADI Deep Diver course, you’ll have gained the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to safely dive to depths of up to 40 meters (130 feet). You’ll also earn the PADI Deep Diver certification, which opens up new diving opportunities and allows you to explore a wider range of dive sites around the world.
