Deep Diver Specialty
Deep Diver Specialty Course
Many divers find the lure of the deep intoxicating! Whether you are swimming along drop offs over beautiful blue water with massive Sponges and Fans, or exploring deeper ship wrecks, it brings out the adventurer in all of us! The excitement doesn’t come without risks. Decreased bottom times and greater exposure to nitrogen are just a few. If this interests you, then the Deep Diver Specialty is what you're looking for!
Under direct supervision by one of our highly experienced Instructors, we will take you through Preparing, Planning and Executing dives in the 18m/60ft to 40m/130ft depth range. The course consists of knowledge development, equipment considerations and planning, all culminating in 3 deep dives!
PRE-REQUISITES
- Advanced Open Water Certification, or equivalent.
- Recent diving experience, other than Open Water and Advanced Training Dives.
- It is recommended that divers have completed at least 10 dives other than training dives.
- An additional orientation dive may be required (at the discretion of Diving Frontiers), for those who only just
meet the listed pre-requisites.
- Be at least 15 years of age.
- Be medically fit to dive.
- Must have own DSMB and reel/finger spool.
