About the PADI Deep Diver Course in Melbourne
Many dives, particularly in Melbourne, require you to go beyond the 30m limit that your Advanced Open Water certification gives you.
There are many wrecks, walls and reefs that are well worth diving but require a little more training to be safely attempted. We are famous for our Ships’ Graveyard; however, the depth of these wrecks requires at least Deep Diver training.
The purpose of the PADI Deep Diver course is to familiarise divers with the skills, knowledge, techniques and hazards of diving between 18m and 40m. It is a safe and supervised introduction to deeper diving within the limits of recreational scuba diving. With four dives over two days and two evenings of theory, the Deep Diver course is a comprehensive and fun course to extend your diving experience.

On your Deep Diver course, you will learn about specialised equipment and techniques needed for going deep. You will also learn more about the effects of pressure, nitrogen loading and narcosis, and more about the risk of decompression sickness. You will complete four dives with the following activities:
