PADI - Deep Diver

- Additional dive: + IDR 900,000 (if you have not done your Deep Diving Adventure or Advanced Open Water Diver certification)

Diving the deeper half of the recreational diving limits — from 18 to 49 m — can seem both seductive and daunting to a new diver. On a reef wall, it’s easy to slip into the inky-blue depths without even noticing, and many of the best shipwreck dives lie in deep, open waters. As we drop below 18 m, our air consumption goes up, our no-stop time goes down, and we begin to feel the effects of nitrogen narcosis. None of these are hard to deal with, but you have to know how to manage them. The PADI Deep Diver course is the best way to log some deep dives under the watchful eye of an instructor. Not only does the class include four deep dives, but it also introduces you to new equipment, like backup air tanks, and teaches you how to plan for and manage problems when the surface is no longer a few fin kicks away.
