PADI Deep Diver Course
Course - Go Dive Tasmania
Who should take this course?
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, 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, 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 enroll in the Deep Diver course.
What will you learn?
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’ll go over:
- Specialized deep diving equipment.
- Deep dive planning, buddy contact procedures and buoyancy control.
- Managing your gas supply, dealing with gas narcosis and safety considerations.
What’s Involved?
The course consists of a minimal amount of theory - the Deep Diving manual guides you through the knowledge needed to complete the four dives. It is largely a practical course, with only a small amount of time in the classroom, so it only takes two days to complete! To earn your Deep Diver rating, you need to complete four deep dives.
Course Includes:
- PADI Online ELearning
- Tanks and weights
- 4 x Boat dives
