PADI Boat Diver
Much of the world’s best scuba diving is accessible only by boat. Whether you've never made a boat dive or you've logged dozens, the PADI Boat Diver Specialty course will benefit you because boats in various parts of the world do things differently. Scuba diving from a boat is fun and relatively easy because you usually descend directly onto your dive site.
What do I need to start?
If you’re a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 10 years old, you can enroll in the Boat Diver course.
What will I do?
The PADI Boat Diver course will expand your knowledge about boats from small inflatables to large liveaboards. You'll gain experience scuba diving by completing two dives from a boat in your local area and learn:
- Boat terminology.
- Boat diving procedures and etiquette, including how to enter and exit, and where to stow your gear.
- Boating safety, including how to locate safety equipment.
What scuba gear will I need?
Beyond using basic scuba equipment, You'll want to have a surface signaling device, such as an inflatable signal tube. Having a complete spare parts kit is also a good idea. Of course we can teach this specialty locally but you need to supply the boat too. :)
