4. PADI Deep Diver Specialty + Wreck Diver Specialty + Enriched Air Diver Specialty.

Now things start to get really exciting.

During the combined PADI Deep + Wreck + Enriched Air (Nitrox) Specialty combo we make 8 more training dives, developing new skills and knowledge in exciting and challenging areas of diving. You’ll get certified right down to the recreational diving limit of 40M, giving the chance to explore areas rarely visited by divers. You’ll also learn to us enriched air gas blends containing up to 40% oxygen to extend your bottom time at depth and/or enhance the conservatism of your dives. Plus you’ll learn advanced wreck diving techniques culminating in the opportunity for a penetration dive inside the wreck of a former Thai naval vessel – very exciting!

Unlimited Diving

Alongside the core dive courses you can take time out to ‘fun dive’ as much. Pair up with a dive buddy and head out on the dive boat exploring, putting what you’ve learned into practice. Great fun and the best way to improve your navigation skills and become familiar with the dive sites.
