PADI Deep Diver Specialty  Course with Scubaworld on the Costa Blanca

After   your   first   few   scuba   dives,   you   soon   want   to   explore   a   bit   deeper. There’s   something   exciting   and   mysterious   about   the   depth   that   attracts dives.   Many   shipwrecks   are   often   found   in   deeper   water.   Also   many   reefs   go beyond   the   18M   mark.   That’s   why   the   PADI   Deep   Diver   course   will   be   the next   course   on   your   list.   With   the   PADI   Deep   Diver   specialty   course   you   will be    able    to    experience    that    excitement    first    hand    by    extending    your recreational depth limit to 40 metres. Get   beyond   the   18M   with   the   Padi   Deep   Diver   Secialty   course.   Down   there it's   different,   it   takes   additional   training.   This   course   is   the   opportunity   to explore the deep. Scuba diving on depth is exhilarating. The   Deep   Diver   Specialty   course   offers   you   the   opportunity   of   a   lifetime, going   deep   to   see   things   others   can   only   dream   about.   During   this   course you'll   learn   Techniques   for   diving   in   the   deeper   range   of   18-40   metres/   60- 130    feet.    You    will    learn    how    to    plan,    set-up    &    execute    deep    dives    with particular    consideration    to    factors    such    as    increased    air    consumption, temperature   changes,   shorter   no-decompression   limits,   physiological   effects like     nitrogen     narcosis,     hazards     and     deep     scuba     diving     equipment considerations

You'll   also   put   this   knowledge   to   the   test   as   you   go   on   four   deep   dives   over at   least   two   days   that   range   from   18   -   40   metres   /   60   -   130   feet   under   the supervision   of   your   PADI   Instructor.   By   the   end   of   the   course   you   will   be confident   in   your   ability   to   safely   dive   deeper   and   understand   how   to   avoid or deal with problems associated with deeper diving.

Course Content The   course   consists   of   a   knowledge   development   session   &   4   Open   water dives which will cover: • Planning,   organization,   procedures,   techniques,   problems   and   hazards of deep diving • Risk factors and decompression-tables review • Safety stops and emergency decompression procedures • Special equipment, descent lines and buoyancy control considerations • Procedures for flying after diving and high altitude diving • Orientation to recompression chambers

Knowledge Development Knowledge   development   is   based   on   a   self-study   method,   allowing   you   to study   in   your   own   time,   at   your   own   pace.   Home   study   is   backed   up   by   an academic   session   with   a   PADI   Instructor,   to   ensure   full   understanding   of deep diving theory.

Each   dive   has   specific   tasks   designed   to   help   students   understand   the   safety techniques,   equipment   selection   and   physiological   aspects   of   deeper   diving. Timed   tasks,   navigational   exercises   &   simulated   emergency   decompression stops are amongst the skills completed during the 4 dives
