Continue The Adventure...

​

Now that you have perfected the use of a dry-suit, why not put these skills to good use by enrolling on the PADI Deep Diver course. The deeper you dive the colder it becomes and the need for greater thermal protection increases. As a certified dry-suit diver you will have already completed the necessary training to ensure comfort & warmth during deeper dives to a maximum of 40 metres.

​

If you have completed 5 PADI Specialties & the PADI Rescue Diver course and have 50 logged dives, you qualify to register as a PADI Master Scuba Diver, the highest non-professional diver rating within PADI.
