Curso Deep Diver

MC-Divers runs the Deep Diver specialty strictly 1:1 — one instructor per student. That is not the norm for specialty courses and it reflects the seriousness they attach to diving between 18 and 30 metres, where a small problem can escalate quickly.

Three open-water dives are planned, usually completed in a single long day. The dives step progressively deeper, and the day often runs into the evening given the extended surface intervals required at those depths. You start with e-Learning theory at home covering the specifics of depth: gas consumption, narcosis, decompression planning and emergency procedures.

The equipment included is more extensive than most specialty courses: an underwater torch and backup, plus a separate cold-water-rated first stage — reflecting the kind of kit the centre considers appropriate for this depth range. Your own ABC (mask, snorkel, fins) is excluded, as with all their open-water courses.

Prerequisite is at minimum the SSI Referral Diver or equivalent brevet, plus a valid dive medical. Minimum age is 15. External costs such as site entry fees or accommodation are not included in the course price.
