PADI Deep Diver Specialty Course

$250.00 USD

Dive Deeper With Confidence

The PADI Deep Diver Specialty Course is designed for certified divers who want to safely explore deeper dive sites—down to 40 meters / 130 feet—with improved planning, awareness, and control.

This course focuses on managing depth-related risks, refining buoyancy at depth, and building confidence in deeper environments common in Southern California.

Course Details

Dives Required: 4
Course Fee: $250
Prerequisite: PADI Adventure Diver (or equivalent)
Minimum Age: 15 years
Certification: PADI Deep Diver Specialty

Dive locations vary based on conditions and scheduling.

Where This Course Is Conducted

Deep Diver training is completed in open water and may take place in several environments:

Boat Dives

Most deep dives are conducted on scheduled boat trips, allowing access to deeper reefs, walls, and wrecks.

Offshore Oil Rigs (By Demand)

Some deep training dives may be conducted at Southern California oil rigs, focusing on depth awareness, gas management, and controlled ascents rather than penetration.

Wreck or Wall Sites

When conditions allow, dives may include wrecks or wall-style sites where depth changes quickly and buoyancy control is critical.

Your instructor will select locations appropriate for your experience level and conditions.

What You’ll Learn

During four deep dives, you’ll focus on:

Deep dive planning and personal depth limits
Gas supply management and monitoring
Buoyancy control at depth
Buddy contact procedures
Recognizing and managing nitrogen narcosis
Safety stops and ascent procedures

The first dive of this specialty may count as an Adventure Dive toward the Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
