Deep Diving

The SSI Deep Diving Specialty course at Diving Pula is designed for certified divers eager to explore beyond the standard recreational limits. This program unlocks access to deeper reefs and larger shipwrecks, environments often inaccessible with basic open water training. Participants will gain the essential knowledge and skills to safely venture into these fascinating deeper realms, expanding their underwater horizons.

The curriculum focuses on the physiological effects of increased pressure, advanced gas management techniques tailored for deeper dives, and the proper utilization of specialized equipment. Emphasis is placed on meticulous planning and risk management, ensuring divers can responsibly enjoy sites that lie deeper than 30 meters. This specialty is a crucial step for those wishing to experience the full spectrum of underwater topography and historical sites.

Diving Pula offers this specialty training with SSI, a globally recognized certification agency. While specific dive site locations for the practical sessions are not detailed, the course prepares divers for environments typically found in the Adriatic Sea. The center provides digital study materials and certification upon successful completion of the course.

While the exact number of dives and duration are not specified, deep diving courses generally involve at least two open water dives. Prerequisites typically include an Open Water Diver certification and a minimum age, with a medical questionnaire always required. Divers should be prepared for the possibility of equipment rental fees, as tanks and weights are usually included, but other gear may not be.

This specialty is an excellent progression for divers holding an Open Water Diver certification, particularly those interested in exploring Pula's renowned deeper shipwrecks or unique geological formations. It serves as a foundational step for further technical diving pursuits, allowing for a more comprehensive exploration of the underwater world.
