Diving deep is not a goal by it self. You don't make
a deep dive just to go deep, but as a means to an end. As a Deep
diver you have access to new dive sites that lie below 60 or 100
ft (depending on if you are an Adventure or Advanced diver today),
and allows you to extend some of the activities you enjoy to new
depths. Through deep diving you can observe aquatic life that doesn't
live in shallow water, visit wrecks that rest in deeper water, as
well as shoot photographs. In some places, deep diving makes it
possible to drift effortlessly past deep water reefs, and in other
areas, you might collect or recover objects that were lost in greater
depth. Those are just five examples of many possibilities when making
deep dives.
The Deep diver course is designed to be an introduction to deep
diving and help you as a diver to develop the necessary skills,
knowledge and techniques to safely participate in deep diving activities.
