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 meters or it may be that coral wall dive teaming with aquatic life or perhaps it’s that dive to see sharks or manta rays. The Deep Diver course is a supervised introduction to no decompression dives up to 40 meters deep. This Course will help you develop the skill, knowledge and techniques to safely participate in deep diving activities. If you want to be able to scuba dive at depths down to 40 meters the PADI Deep Diver course is for you.
