It’s a rare diver who hasn’t felt the urge to dive deep. Deep diving opens the door to many new, exciting dive sites like deeper wrecks, reefs, and walls. As a rule, divers tend to be adventurous people, and deep diving – whether to visit a wreck or take photos – can certainly be called adventurous. It’s only natural that, like most divers, you have some interest in deep diving.

Deep diving is a means to an end. You make a deep dive to see, to do, or to experience something that you can’t on a shallower dive. There’s no reason to make a deep dive if you can make essentially the same dive at a shallower depth. Unlike shallower dives, deep dives tend to be short since time and air supply are limited. Therefore, you don’t have a great deal of time to do much so you’ll need to make smart decisions about a dive objective and dive accomplishments. Keep that thought, the philosophy of this course is to focus on making smart decisions for 
a stress-free, deep diving experience with an emphasis on safety. Thus, the goal of this course is to bring to light the necessary equipment needed to support deep diving 
activities, to discourage thrill seeker attitudes and encourage the proper deep diver behavior of following appropriate limits, and to teach student divers a systematic, 
methodical approach to enjoying deep diving.
