PADI Deep Diver Specialty Course
Reach the Limit of Recreational Diving
As a PADI Deep Diver, you will be certified to dive to 40 meters maximum depth – the deepest qualification in recreational diving.
The beauty of diving lies in having the ability to explore places that few people have ever seen. In fact, the ocean’s depths are probably the last frontier of human exploration on our planet. Of course, there are limits to how far we can push those boundaries as recreational divers. When you take the PADI Deep Diver Specialty Course, you will learn how to safely reach 40 meters depth, which is the established maximum limit for all recreational dive training programs. However, deeper diving presents increased risk factors that divers must take into consideration, such as limited no-stop time, increased rate of air consumption, and likelihood of narcosis. Therefore, a proper deep dive training is essential. Over the course of two days and four dives, we will teach you the safe, proper way to explore the most extreme depth attainable in recreational diving.
