PADI Deep Diver Theory Online

Explore deeper dive sites with confidence at depths down to 40 metres/130 ft. Learn to manage your gas supply, go over buddy contact procedures, and buoyancy control.

Description

The lure of the deep. There’s something exciting and mysterious about exploring deeper dive sites while scuba diving. Sometimes it’s a wreck that attracts you below 18 metres/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 metres/130 feet, you should take the PADI Deep Diver Specialty course.

If you’ve earned the PADI Adventure Diver rating or higher, and you’re at least 15 years old, you can enrol in the Deep Diver course.

Academic

Along with reviewing reasons for deep diving and the importance of knowing your personal limits, you’ll learn about:

• Specialized deep diving equipment.
• Deep dive planning, buddy contact procedures, safety considerations and buoyancy control
• Managing your gas supply and dealing with gas narcosis

Please note - this eLearning only covers your online theory, but also serves as a deposit for the open water dives. When booking your practical, the cost of this eLearning will be deducted from your total course fee.
