PADI Deep Diver Specialty
Now that you have your Adventures in Diving certification, you may want to look at some of the deeper dive sites Minnesota (and the rest of the world) can to offer.  The PADI Deep Diver Specialty course will give you the information needed to plan and conduct no-decompression dives to a maximum depth of 130 feet.
Over a two day period you will conduct a total of four open water dives.  The minimum depth for the dives is between 60 and 100 feet.  All dives for the PADI Deep Diver Specialty will be no-decompression and conducted no deeper than 130 feet.  This course looks at a variety of areas including:  
  • Planning and conducting a deep dive
  • Equipment considerations
  • Nitrogen Narcosis and DCS
  • Dive table (and computer) review
  • Review of flying after diving
  • Potential hazards of deep diving
  • Procedures for safety stops and emergency decompression

PADI Deep Diver Specialty Course Manual is included with the course and is yours to keep. - - How far will you take this diving thing? It's up to you. With PADI Specialty Diver Programs you can chart your course for a colorful collection of awesome dives. Sure, your PADI certification opens up the oceans and lakes to you, but the PADI Specialty Dives take the underwater adventure to depths that will stir your soul. Achieving PADI Specialty ratings can take anywhere from as little as one day to a full weekend -but this is all hands-on, so you'll be diving right from the start.
