Padi Deep Diver Course

About the Course

During the PADI® Deep Diver course, you’ll learn how to plan deep dives, manage your gas supply and how to identify and manage narcosis.

During four dives with a PADI Instructor, you’ll practice descents, buoyancy and safety stops. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll discover how deep dives affect colour, physical objects and your brain.

You’ll learn about buddy contact procedures, safety considerations and buoyancy control at depth.

Minimum Age: 15

Course prerequisites: PADI Adventure Diver (or qualifying certification)

Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Chronic health conditions, certain medications, and/or recent surgery may require you to get written approval from a physician before diving.

Avoid disappointment—download and review the Diver Medical form to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval before enrolling in a scuba course. Instructors, divemasters, and dive shop staff are not physicians and should not be asked for medical advice; only medical professionals can give medical clearance to dive.
