Deep Diver

The PADI Deep Diver specialty course at La Case Marine is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to safely explore depths beyond the standard recreational limits, typically up to 40 meters (130 feet). This certification is crucial for divers aiming to discover deeper reefs, shipwrecks, or unique underwater geological formations that lie below 18 meters (60 feet). You will gain a thorough understanding of the physiological effects of increased pressure, including nitrogen narcosis and decompression sickness, and learn essential procedures for deep dive planning.

Instruction at La Case Marine focuses on practical application, covering gas management, no-decompression limit calculations using dive tables or computers, and emergency decompression protocols. The course emphasizes controlled descents and ascents, meticulous air supply monitoring, and recognizing the early signs of nitrogen narcosis. This specialty builds confidence and competence in managing the inherent challenges of deeper dives, ensuring you can plan and execute these dives with greater safety.

This PADI specialty is a logical advancement for certified Advanced Open Water Divers seeking to expand their exploration capabilities. It unlocks access to a wider array of dive sites and underwater features previously out of reach. Participants must be at least 15 years old and hold an Advanced Open Water Diver certification or equivalent. The program typically includes theoretical sessions followed by a minimum of four open water dives conducted under direct instructor supervision.

La Case Marine offers this course with PADI certification, a globally recognized standard in diver training. While specific dive site details for the practical sessions are determined by conditions, the curriculum is structured to provide hands-on experience with deep diving techniques. The price for this specialty is 380 EUR, covering the instruction and certification process. This course is an excellent opportunity to enhance your diving skills and open up new underwater vistas.
