PADI Scuba diving courses in the warm Caribbean waters of the Dominican Republic

Deep Diver

The PADI Deep Diver program offers you excitement and adventure. Many wrecks and other diver attractions lay in waters deeper than that of the Open Water and Advanced Open Water Diver recommended depth limits. To join the 'deep divers' on their next trip you will need at least your Adventures In Diving certification and be at least 15 years old.

The program includes four open water dives, which are conducted over at least two days. The minimum depth for the deep dives are between 18 to 30 meters/60 to 100 feet, with no dive exceeding 40 meters/130 feet.

During your program, you’ll cover the knowledge, skills and techniques needed to dive deep safely. The following is included in the PADI Deep Diver course:

Planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of deep diving - risk factors and decompression-tables review - safety stops and emergency decompression procedures - special equipment, descent lines and buoyancy-control considerations - procedures for flying after diving and high-altitude diving - orientation to recompression chambers.

The core Deep Dive conducted during the Adventures In Diving or Advanced Plus program may be counted toward this specialty at the discretion of the instructor.

Course price US$275
