Full Description


The Deep Diver course is designed for adventurous divers who want to explore beyond the standard recreational depths. With this certification you'll be able to safely dive to depths of up to 40 meters (130 ft), opening up access to deep wrecks, dramatic walls, and breathtaking reefs that few get to experience.


Why deep diving is different


Diving at greater depths requires more than just curiosity — it demands knowledge and skill. You'll learn how to plan deep dives, manage your air supply effectively, and understand how depth affects your body and equipment. This course ensures you can explore safely while enjoying the thrill of deep-water adventures.

Understanding the risks and how to manage them


Deep diving introduces challenges such as nitrogen narcosis, increased air consumption, and changes in buoyancy control. You'll learn how to recognize and manage these factors, as well as how to minimize risks through careful preparation and proper use of dive computers and tables.


Building your deep-diving knowledge


In the classroom portion you'll gain an in-depth understanding of the physics and physiology of deep diving. Topics include gas absorption, oxygen toxicity, the importance of extended safety stops, and dive planning strategies that keep you safe and within no-decompression limits.


Practical deep diving experience


The course includes four open water dives where you'll apply your skills at greater depths. Under the supervision of an experienced instructor you'll practice descent and ascent procedures, buoyancy control, navigation, and air management while exploring stunning underwater landscapes.
