Drift Diver

The PADI Drift Diver Specialty course teaches you how to enjoy going with the flow as you scuba dive down rivers and use ocean currents to glide along. It feels like flying – except that you’re underwater using scuba equipment. Drift diving can be relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. If this sound like fun, then the Drift Diver course is for you.

What You Will Learn

Along with drift diving techniques and procedures, you’ll:

 

  • Receive an introduction to drift diving equipment – floats, lines, and reels.

  • Get an overview of aquatic currents – causes and effects.

  • Practice with buoyancy control, navigation, and communication during two drift dives.

  • Learn techniques for staying close to a buddy or together as a group as you float with the current.

 

Prerequisites

To enroll in the PADI Drift Diver course you must be 12 years old or older.

 

The Fun Part

Drift Diving is nearly effortless and relaxing. You simply glide along and enjoy the rush of flying underwater while the current does the work.
