Go Deeper and Expand Your Dive Limits
The Deep Diver course is designed for adventurous divers who want to explore beyond the standard recreational depths. With this certification, you’ll be able to safely dive to depths of up to 40 meters (130 feet), opening up access to deep wrecks, dramatic walls, and breathtaking reefs that few get to experience.
Why Deep Diving Is Different
Diving at greater depths requires more than just curiosity—it demands knowledge and skill. You’ll learn how to plan deep dives, manage your air supply effectively, and understand how depth affects your body and equipment. This course ensures you can explore safely while enjoying the thrill of deep-water adventures.
Understanding the Risks and How to Manage Them
Deep diving introduces challenges such as nitrogen narcosis, increased air consumption, and changes in buoyancy control. You’ll learn how to recognize and manage these factors, as well as how to minimize risks through careful preparation and proper use of dive computers and tables.
Building Your Deep Diving Knowledge
In the classroom portion, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the physics and physiology of deep diving. Topics include gas absorption, oxygen toxicity, the importance of extended safety stops, and dive planning strategies that keep you safe and within no-decompression limits.
Practical Deep Diving Experience
The course includes four open water dives where you’ll apply your skills at greater depths. Under the supervision of an experienced instructor, you’ll practice descent and ascent procedures, buoyancy control, navigation, and air management while exploring stunning underwater landscapes.
Your Deep Diver Certification
After completing the course, you’ll be certified to dive to 40 meters (130 feet), giving you the freedom to explore deeper sites worldwide. With this new skill set, you’ll unlock opportunities to experience marine life, wrecks, and geological features that are only found in the deeper zones of the ocean.
