PADI Deep Diver
After your first few scuba dives, you soon want to explore a bit deeper. There’s something exciting and mysterious about depth that attracts dives. The fun part about this course is the opportunity to explore the deep. It’s exhilarating. During this course, you will learn –
- Techniques for diving in the deeper range of 18-40 metres
- Deep scuba diving equipment considerations
- Experience in planning, organizing and making at least four deep dives under the supervision of your PADI Instructor
PADI Deep Diver certification counts toward your PADI Master Scuba Diver rating – the highest non-professional rating in recreational diving.
PADI Dry Suit Diver
Want to stay warm? Want to extend your scuba diving season? Then dive dry. A dry suit seals you off from the water and keeps you comfortable, even in surprisingly cold water. There is incredible diving in the world’s cooler regions and in some areas, conditions are even better in colder months. Becoming a dry suit diver allows you to expand your boundaries and dive more places, more often.
If you’re at least 10 years old and certified as a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver or higher, you can enrol in the Dry Suit Diver course.
Clearly a dry suit is necessary along with your basic scuba equipment. The staff at Batemans Bay Dive Adventures will explain other gear or equipment options you may need to dive comfortably with your dry suit. For example, because you’re more buoyant in a dry suit than in a wetsuit, you may want a different weight system setup.
PADI Enriched Air Diver (EANx)
The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty course, and it’s easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no-stop dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive dives.
You can typically stay down longer and get back in the water sooner. No wonder many divers choose this as their very first specialty.
- Techniques for getting more dive time by using enriched air nitrox
- Enriched air diving equipment considerations
- Enriched air considerations, including managing oxygen exposure, how to tell what’s in your scuba tank and how to set your dive computer
