There's something genuinely different about diving below 18 metres — the light changes, colors shift, and the whole experience feels more serious. The Deep Diver specialty takes you safely down to 40 metres/130 feet, the maximum depth for recreational diving, teaching you the physiology, gas management, and planning that deep diving demands.
Over four dives, you'll practice managing narcosis awareness, extended no-decompression planning, and the equipment considerations that come with deeper profiles. If technical diving is somewhere on your horizon, Deep Diver is a genuinely useful prerequisite — it's often the first real look at the kind of discipline tec diving demands.
Deep dive planning and gas management, recognizing and managing nitrogen narcosis, equipment considerations for depth, and safe ascent and decompression stop procedures.
Advanced Open Water Diver certification required. Minimum age 15.
Knowledge development, four open water dives to progressively deeper depths, full gear rental, and your Deep Diver certification.
