Course overview

Extend your range to the recreational limit with the PADI Deep Diver specialty in Phuket, training on the deeper pinnacles and walls around Racha Noi, which hold some of the area's deepest, clearest dives. Over four dives you learn to plan and manage dives between 18 and 40 metres, recognise nitrogen narcosis and handle the practicalities of depth. It pairs well with the Wreck Diver specialty.

The PADI Deep Diver pathway

PADI Deep Diver is a specialty that counts toward the Master Scuba Diver rating and qualifies you to plan and conduct recreational dives to the 40-metre limit. Beyond 40 metres requires technical training.

Where you'll dive in Phuket

Racha Noi's southern pinnacles and walls hold Phuket's deepest, clearest recreational diving, best dived in the November-to-April season when the Andaman is calm and visibility is high.
