The PADI Deep Diver pathway

PADI Deep Diver uses PADI Touch eLearning, includes four progressively deeper dives, and counts toward Master Scuba Diver with a PADI card.

Where you'll dive in Neil Island

Deep training on Neil centres on The Wall, a 10-30 m drop-off that continues deeper and hosts Napoleon wrasse, snappers and the occasional turtle. The calm November-May season and 27-30C water make deep descents comfortable and controlled.
