Why become a PADI Boat diver?

There is also the added advantage of being dropped right on top of your dive site, no walking required!
By completing the PADI Boat Diver course, you will become more versed in the ways of boat diving, by learning the terminology, the safety procedures, etiquette, entry and exit points.
