PADI Boat Diver Specialty

Quick Details

This course helps you expand your knowledge about boats from small inflatables to large liveaboards. You’ll gain experience scuba diving by completing two dives from a boat.

Description

Much of the world’s best scuba diving and definitely St. John’s best 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. During the course, you will learn different entry boat terminology and other tips and tricks that make your boat dives more enjoyable.
