DEEP DIVER SPECIALTY

Have you ever wondered what's waiting just a little deeper?

Towering walls, dramatic shipwrecks, unique marine life, and breathtaking underwater landscapes often lie beyond the depths explored during your Open Water certification.
 

The PADI Deep Diver Specialty is your gateway to safely exploring depths of up to 40 meters (130 feet)—the maximum depth for recreational scuba diving.

Through hands-on training and expert instruction, you'll gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to plan and conduct deep dives safely while experiencing some of the ocean's most incredible dive sites.
