During the PADIĀ® Deep Diver course, you’ll learn how to plan deep dives, manage your gas supply and how to identify and manage narcosis.
You’ll learn about buddy contact procedures, safety considerations and buoyancy control at depth.
This course is excellent for those wishing to make deep dives with an instructor (up to 40/m/ 130ft) and to see more of the underwater world.
