Deep Diver Speciality

Ever wanted to visit that wreck that is just that little bit deeper than your experience and qualifications allow or to see that exquisite part of the reef that everyone else is raving about? Well, the PADI Deep Diver Specialty can help you on the way.

The path to becoming a PADI Deep Diver Speciality consists of two steps:

1. PADI eLearning: 2-4 hours.
2. Participate in 4 open water rescue exercises over 2 days:

PADI eLearning® on your own, from the comfort of your home, read, watch videos, and take quizzes at your own pace to develop knowledge of scuba rescue procedures, before you work with one of our PADI Instructors. 

Complete 4 open water dives are required to complete the PADI Deep Diver Speciality course, with Go Dive training, these take place at the National Diving Centre at Stoney Cove in Leicestershire.

These 4 dives usually take place over a single weekend.

During the PADI® Deep Diver course, you'll learn how to:

• Plan deep dives, 
• Manage your gas supply 
• How to identify and manage narcosis.
• Techniques for planning and carrying out dives in water depths of 18 to 40 metres
• You'll learn about buddy contact procedures, safety considerations
• Buoyancy control at depth.
• Equipment considerations for deep dives.
• How greater depths affect the diving environment (light, colour, temperature) and even the diver.

As well as these dives being an opportunity for you to show your instructor your mastery of the skills and procedures, you will also gain more experience diving and the basics of how to look after other divers . 

On successful completion of these dives, you will be a PADI Deep Diver, resulting in a qualification to dive to the recommended limits of recreational diving (40m). .

We will provide all the equipment you need for the training.
