The lure of the deep. There is something exciting and mysterious about exploring deeper dive sites while scuba diving. Sometimes it’s a wreck that attracts you below 18 meters/60 feet, and on wall dives it may be a giant fan or sponge.
Whatever it is, to scuba dive with confidence at depths down to 40 meters/130 feet, you should take the PADI Deep Diver Specialty course.
If you have earned the PADI Adventure Diver rating or higher, and you are at least 15 years old, you can enroll in the Deep Diver course.
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 will go over:
• Special deep diving equipment
• Deep dive planning, buddy contact procedures and buoyancy control
• Managing your gas supply, dealing with gas narcosis and safety considerations
You may be able to get college credit for the Deep Diver course. Ask your instructor.
You will need a dive computer along with the rest of your basic scuba equipment. A dive light and slate are also recommended.
