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 metres and on wall dives, it may be a giant fan or sponge. Whatever it is, to scuba dive with confidence at depths down to a maximum of 40 metres is truly a thrilling challenge. Thanks to the PADI Deep Diver Specialty course now you too can experience the call of deep diving.
To enroll in this course you must be:
- A PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or similar from another diving agency)
