PRICE: £345

The lure of the deep is a siren call many divers long to answer. The PADI Deep Diver course will extend your maximum depth limit to 40 meters (130ft). Customers often say that this is their favourite specialty diving course as it opens up many new and interesting dive sites. Being able to dive to 40 meters means that all recreation dives sites are an option for you, like the M2 wreck in Portland, or shark dives in the Maldives!
The course lasts two days, to complete your 4 open water dives. You will learn techniques for diving in the deeper range of 18-40 meters and gain experience and knowledge of how to manage nitrogen narcosis. This also counts as one of the five specialty courses if you wish to go on and complete your PADI Master Scuba Diver certification, the black belt of the diving world!
This course is 4 dives, completed at Chepstow (NDAC), St Andrews Lake or possibly on one of our club trips.
