DEEP DIVER SPECIALTY The benefits of taking the Deep Diver Specialty are numerous. Here are a few of the basic benefits. A deeper look into narcosis, decompression illness, buoyancy, air consumption and other issues that are relevant for every diver, but especially important for those who intend to go "Deeper into Diving". How long has it been since you practiced air sharing skills? For most of us the answer may be "Never", but our comfort with this basic skill can make a significant difference in an out of air situation at 110 feet. A review of this skill, the expansion of some basic
important new ones are part of what we learn in this course. Increases the depth limit of your certification. Believe it or not, most divers forget that the depth limit for divers with Advanced Open Water certification is 100 feet, not 130 feet. It's a prerequisite for Technical training. By learning and reinforcing the skills and knowledge found in this course, we prepare ourselves to continue our learning through courses such as Advanced Nitrox, Decompression Techniques, Recreational Trimix and Closed Circuit Rebreather. *** You don't have to dive deep to benefit from this course. The principles are valid to every diver. Prerequisites: Minimum certification of Advanced Open Water or equivalent.
