Deep Diver Course

The Deep Diver course is a specialty program that focuses on teaching you the techniques and safety procedures for diving at greater depths. Diving deeper than 18 meters (60 feet) opens up new opportunities to explore underwater landscapes, shipwrecks, and marine life that are not accessible at shallower depths. This course will prepare you for safe, enjoyable deep dives up to 40 meters (130 feet).

Course Plan:

1- Self-study online (through the PADI Learning Portal)
