PADI DEEP DIVER SPECIALTY
Expand your training and experience to greater depths. PADI's Deep Diver programme offers you the adventure of a lifetime - going deep to see things others only dream about. There's no doubt about it - many of our most memorable dives are deep dives.
The programme includes four open water dives, which
are conducted over at least two days, diving in Malaysia. The minimum depth for
the deep dives is between 18 to 30 metres, with no dive exceeding
40 metres. All your dives will be conducted within the no-decompression
limits. During your programme, you'll cover the knowledge,
skills and techniques needed to dive deep.
Topics covered
include:
- Planning, organisation, procedures, problems and hazards
of deep dives;
- Risk factors and decompression-tables review;
- Safety stops and emergency decompression procedures;
- Special equipment, descent lines and buoyancy-control
considerations;
- Procedures for flying after diving and high-altitude
diving;
- Orientation to recompression chambers.
Deep dive training is important because our margin for error narrows with greater depth. As we go deeper, we use air faster and have shorter no-stop limits. The surface is much farther away and harder to reach. Conditions at depth are often different and more adverse than they are in shallower water. Dive accidents usually result from a chain of several diver errors that lead to disaster. On a deep dive, that chain is very short.
PADI Deep Diver training enables you to experience the excitement that comes with doing something potentially hazardous and challenging, but in a way that responsibly manages the risk. Deep diving will extend your personal limits and accomplishments. You'll learn how to manage the added risk that comes with deep diving, and how to be prepared for emergencies and errors that can happen. You're likely to find it a rewarding challenge that helps you improve as a diver.
