Although the Openwater Diver courses give you enough information and training to use scuba equipment on you own and to learn by trial and error, there is a faster, better and safer way to learn the fundamentals of deep diving. How you ask? By taking a Deep Diver specialty course. The Deep Diver Specialty course offers you the opportunity of a lifetime - going deep to see things others can only dream about.

This course will familiarize you with the skills, knowledge, planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems, hazards and how to get more enjoyment of diving between the 60 to 130 feet. The Deep Diver specialty course is intended to serve as a safe, supervised introduction to deeper diving within the limits of recreational scuba diving. Training will emphasize on fun and safety.
