About the Course
The PADI Deep Diver Specialty Course is your gateway to exploring the underwater world beyond recreational depths. In Hilo, you’ll descend along massive cliffs, rising pinnacles, and reefs frequented by parrotfish, manta rays, and other incredible marine life. This course trains you to safely dive as deep as 130ft / 40m.
Beyond the adventure, the Deep Diver certification is a prerequisite for the PADI TecRec 40 Course, opening the door to longer and deeper technical dives. If you’re ready to push your limits, this specialty is the next step.
