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 You Will Learn
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.
Get credit! The first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.
Prerequisites
If you’re a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 10 years old, you can enroll in the Boat Diver course.
The Fun Part
Diving from a boat is fun, especially when you look at ease when maneuvering around on it. It is fun to know what you are doing, have a sense of what a boat should be doing and what you need to make that operation successful. While others may stand around lost, you will be stowing your gear, admiring the running gear and waiting for the boat to cast off and begin the next adventure.
