PADI Deep Specialty Instructor course Koh Tao

PADI Deep Diver Instructor Specialty course in Thailand

We all know diving deeper sounds exciting to our student scuba divers. Just like yourself, divers are curious about mysterious things that may lurk in the deep. Maybe they want to visit a ship wreck lying at depth?

There are many reasons why divers may want to journey deeper than they have dived before and as a PADI Deep Diver specialty instructor you will be able to teach the skills, knowledge and techniques to enable your students to conduct safe no decompression dives right down to the recreational dive limit of 40m.

As a deep specialty instructor you will be able to teach your students how to plan their deep dives, manage their air and Nitrogen Narcosis at depth as well as use specialised deep diving equipment.

One of the biggest reasons for taking the PADI Deep Diver speciality is being able to access dive sites you would not be able to without it. Koh Tao boasts a great selection of suitable deep diving sites, ideal to conduct Deep diver training on, go deep and explore, as well as boasting a fantastic array of marine life. With dive sites such as Chumphon pinnacle, Southwest, Green Rock and Sail Rock, you will teach your students how to access new and exciting areas of the dive sites.
