Deep Diver
Deep Dives Provide a Certain Kick…
Whether it’s the allure of vibrant coral walls or the mystery of a sunken shipwreck, deeper depths often call to divers — sometimes simply because they exist. Nearly every diver has felt the pull to go deeper. But with that curiosity comes increased risk. Many of the hazards associated with deep diving aren’t immediately obvious, especially to those without proper training.
Underwater Dive Center’s Deep Diver Specialty course equips you with the techniques to explore deeper waters safely and confidently.
Through four open water dives, you'll gain the skills and knowledge needed to enjoy dives between 60 and 130 feet. This course provides a safe, supervised introduction to the challenges and rewards of deep diving, all within recreational scuba limits.
