The PADI Deep Diver specialty in Pondicherry takes you down to recreational limits on the Bay of Bengal, including the Aravind Wall. You learn to manage gas, narcosis and colour loss while exploring deeper reef structures off India's east coast.
PADI's Deep Diver specialty pairs eLearning theory with four progressively deeper dives, embeds a Project AWARE ethic and issues a lifetime PADI specialty card.
Deep training centres on the Aravind Wall and deeper Bay of Bengal sites that reach 30-40m, where pelagic visitors and large reef fish cruise past. The Oct-May season's calm water and 27-30C temperatures make controlled deep descents and ascents straightforward.
