Unlock a world of thrilling underwater experiences by diving into PADI Specialty Diver courses that not only enhance your skills but also broaden your horizons.
Whether it's capturing mesmerizing moments with digital underwater photography or conquering bucket list dives by wreck diving, PADI Specialties make you a more versatile and knowledgeable diver.
3 of the Most Popular PADI Specialty Diver Courses
01
Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver
Using enriched air lets you extend your no-decompression limits and spend less time waiting between dives, which means more time exploring and less time watching the clock.
The course teaches you how to plan Nitrox dives, analyze a tank, fill out an enriched air log and adjust your dive computer for a Nitrox dive.
Being Nitrox-certified is ideal for repetitive dive days, liveaboards and dive trips where you want to get more out of every dive.
PADI Pro Alex Baackes says of the course, “I’m thrilled to now have the option to reach for a green and yellow tank, but more importantly I feel more confident than I ever have before about my grasp of diving theory. It was a reminder that my dive education will never be over.”
02
Peak Performance Buoyancy
Buoyancy control is a core skill that changes everything about the way you dive. Good buoyancy makes diving easier, more enjoyable and protects the environment.
During this course, you’ll focus on correct weighting, achieving neutral buoyancy and refining your body position, so you can enjoy being a confident and relaxed diver.
PADI AmbassaDiver Kelly Han says, “[The Peak Performance Buoyancy course] helped me become more confident and calm underwater, expanding my understanding of buoyancy, safety and ocean awareness, allowing me to enjoy each dive with a deeper sense of control and freedom.”
03
Boat Diver
Many of the world’s most incredible dive sites are only accessible by boat. From small dinghies to liveaboards, this popular Specialty course helps you feel confident and capable when diving from different boats and in all kinds of conditions.
During the course, you’ll learn essential boat diving practices, including nautical terminology, boat diving etiquette and the use of a surface marker buoy (SMB), as well as managing seasickness.
By building these skills, PADI AmbassaDiver Nana Onuma says, “[Boat Diver] enabled me to dive at more complex sites and handle a wider range of ocean conditions with confidence.”
