The “Deep Diver” training is a diving certification that enables divers to safely explore significant depths. This course is designed to empower divers to plan and conduct dives up to 40 meters deep, where new challenges and specific considerations must be taken into account.

Here’s a summary of the “IANTD Deep Diver” course:

Prerequisites: Before enrolling in the “Deep Diver” course, you must be previously certified as an “Advanced Open Water Diver” or have equivalent minimum diving experience.

Theory and Knowledge: The “Deep Diver” course includes in-depth theoretical training on specific aspects of deep-sea diving. You will study the laws of diving physics, the effects of pressure and narcosis, safety considerations, deep-sea dive planning, and decompression procedures.

Deep Diving Techniques: You will learn specific techniques for diving safely at greater depths. This includes buoyancy control, underwater communication, gas management, and how to respond to emergency situations in deep water.

Open Water Practice: The course will include several open water dives to put your deep-sea diving skills into practice. You will also learn to dive with an additional bottle (stage) that can be used for decompression if necessary.

Certification Limits: After successfully completing the “Deep Diver” course, you will receive a certification that allows you to safely dive to a depth of 40 meters, in accordance with the organization’s standards, and perform limited decompression dives.
