Deep Diver

PADI Deep Diver Course with Aquatic Dreams Scuba Center

After your first few scuba dives, you'll soon want to explore a bit deeper. There is something exciting and mysterious about exploring deeper dive sites while scuba diving. Sometimes it's a wreck that attracts you below 60 feet and on wall dives it may be a giant fan or sponge. Whatever it is, to scuba dive with confidence at depths down to 130 feet, you should take the PADI Deep Diver Specialty Course.

If you've earned the PADI Adventure Diver rating or higher and you're at least 15 years old, you can enroll in the Deep Diver Course.
