Deep Diver

Atlantis Lanzarote offers the PADI Deep Diver specialty course, enabling certified divers to explore depths between 18 and 40 meters (60-130 feet). This course is crucial for accessing deeper reefs, walls, and wrecks that lie beyond the standard recreational limits. Over three dives, you will gain the knowledge and skills to safely plan and execute these deeper excursions. The curriculum focuses on understanding and managing the physiological effects of increased depth, such as nitrogen narcosis and the principles of decompression sickness prevention. This specialty is a direct pathway for those considering technical diving or simply wishing to expand their underwater exploration capabilities.

The waters around Lanzarote provide an excellent training environment for deep diving. While specific visibility data is not provided, the volcanic topography of sites like Playa Chica, accessible from Atlantis Lanzarote, offers fascinating underwater landscapes to explore at greater depths. The sea temperature averages around 20.5°C, making for comfortable diving conditions throughout much of the year, though specific monthly variations are available in the climate data. This course emphasizes practical application in real dive scenarios.

Atlantis Lanzarote, a PADI-certified dive center, ensures a high standard of training. The course is conducted with a small student-to-instructor ratio of 3:1, allowing for personalized attention and thorough supervision during each dive.
