Deep Diver

Spring “Deep Dive” Sale! Dive deeper with spring discounts (pun intended). see pricing for details

Want to dive the deep wrecks in the keys, or more advanced springs like Buford? The PADI® Deep Diver course certifies you to a maximum depth of 130’. In this class, you'll learn how to plan deep dives, manage your gas supply and how to identify and manage narcosis. You'll learn about buddy contact procedures, safety considerations and buoyancy control at depth.

Course dives can be conducted either in the deep freshwater springs, or in the ocean off the Florida coast (please note, this option incurs additional dive charter fees).

What’s the difference between the PADI Deep Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver courses? Advanced Open Water (AOW) allows you to dive down to 100 feet, and requires five different dives, including navigation and three additional specialties. The PADI Deep Diver is a speciality course ideal for those looking to venture beyond the 100 feet of the Advanced Open Water courses. Above all, this course is for depth lovers. With this speciality, we will help you develop safe diving practices to comfortably explore at 130 feet below the surface!
