The Deep Diver course will take you beyond the ordinary recreational diving depths into the intriguing world of underwater exploration. This rigorous training prepares you to safely dive at depths of up to 40 metres (130 feet). You’ll learn about the physiological impacts of higher pressure, how to manage your oxygen supply, how to navigate in the depths, and how to perform exact descents and ascents. The importance of safety measures and contingency planning is emphasised, ensuring that you are prepared for any situation. Deep Diver certification allows you to explore shipwrecks, have unusual marine encounters, and discover hidden beauties in the ocean’s depths.
Over the course of four guided dives led by a certified PADI Instructor, you’ll gain practical experience in executing controlled descents, maintaining buoyancy, and safely conducting required safety stops. Engaging in hands-on exercises, you’ll witness firsthand the intriguing impact of deep dives on color perception, physical objects, and cognitive functions.
