Specialty Course Deep Diver
Dive to places where only a few have been before
This is your chance to go a deeper! The Similan Islands are ideal to dive in the depth range between 18 and 40 meters (60 – 130 ft). With sloping reefs and spectacular boulder dives and warm, clear waters, the deeper parts of the divesites are begging to be explored. In the Similan Deep Diver specialty course we will introduce you to the basics of deep diving. You learn to plan and execute deep dives in a safe and controlled way. For example, we teach you how to calculate your air consumption rate, so you know how much air you have to bring down with you. We go over deep diving equipment, the potential hazards and dive planning.
- The Similan Islands are perfect to dive a bit deeper
- Course can be done in combination with liveaboard or daytrips
- The course can be done with SSI or PADI
Similan Deep Diver Specialty Course – 2 days / 4 dives
For the course we will make a total of 4 deep dives in the range of 18-40 meters (60-130 ft). We will do skills at depth to see if you are affected by Nitrogen Narcosis. We will also bring several objects down to see what happens with increasing pressure. We will equip you with a torch and a dive computer and even practice a simulated emergency decompression stop, breathing from an extra air source. We will measure our air consumption at rest and during exercise and see how this affects our dive times. All dives are done within the no-decompression limit of your computer. A great way to get the best out of your deep dives is to combine it with a Nitrox Specialty.
There is also some theory with a Deep Diver manual and lectures by your instructor. We might even show you some tech diving equipment and how it all works when you want to go even deeper. But that’s Tecdiving and that’s another story…..
What’s included in the price?
The course price is in addition to our Similan Liveaboard trips or Daytrips and includes certification.
All Courses are to the strictest training standards and we will cut no corners. Courses are done with SSI (Scuba Schools International), unless otherwise noted. The same course can be conducted as a PADI Deep Diver course – but there will be a surcharge as PADI requires the purchase of the books and materials as part of the course – SSI does not. Otherwise there is no difference in standards or safety between the two systems.
