CONTINUE YOUR EDUCATION

PADI Specialty Diver courses teach you new techniques and give you the tools to enhance your exploration. Each specialty course has different entry requirements – you don’t even have to be a diver to take some of them, such as the Emergency Oxygen Provider. If there is a matching Adventure Dive (that you take to obtain your Advanced Open Water certification) then the Specialty course builds on these skills. Most Specialty Diver courses vary between two and four dives and your Adventures Dives may be credited as the first dive of the matching specialty at your instructor’s discretion.

So, if you want to learn how to safely assess and penetrate a wreck, then the Wreck Diver speciality is for you. If you want to extend your range to 40m, or just increase your comfort and skill level down to 30m then the Deep Diver specialty is for you. Want to know more about the fish you’re seeing or improve on your basic photography skills? Just check out the relevant specialty.

In addition, if you complete 5 Specialty Diver courses and also have 50 logged dives you will be eligible to apply to PADI for the coveted Master Scuba Diver rating.
