Downey DuckDeep Diver Specialty 
This course acquaints divers with the skills, knowledge, techniques, hazards, and enjoyment of deep diving while avoiding the necessity of making "decompression stops" before  surfacing. It emphasizes experience, fun and safety. 

Some of the potential benefits of being certified as a "Deep Diver" are: 

  • the increased knowledge and safety of descents beyond the 60-foot limit
  • experience how the increased depth adversely affects divers psychologically and physiologically under the increased pressure
  • learn to safely explore and enjoy the sights below the depth limit of 60 feet.
