Deep Diver

Why Take the Deep Diver Course?

SDI’s Deep Diver Course is a must for any diver wishing to explore a little more, go a little deeper, and learn the risks and benefits associated with deep diving. Many interesting sights lay just beyond open water diver training limits such as: beautiful wall dives, shipwrecks, and critters that don’t come into the shallows.The purpose of this course is to provide the necessary training to plan and execute dives that are beyond the depth range experienced during an SDI Open Water Scuba Diver course, specifically beyond 18 metres/60 feet and to a maximum depth of not greater than 40 metres/130 feet. By the end of the course your knowledge, awareness, and comfort level with deep diving activities will have increased.

Who is the Deep Diver Course For?

Any certified open water scuba diver who wishes to expand their diver knowledge and skill set

Any certified open water scuba diver who would like to advance their dive training

Why choose Tampa Bay Diving?


I started this company with the sole purpose of offering the best scuba diving training possible. I teach my students on a 1-to-1 ratio. This allows me to focus on one student for the entire course and helps to maximize and perfect their skills, ultimately making them better and safer divers. You’ll find no crowded group classes with instructors distracted by having to help multiple divers here. There are no hidden fees; what you see is what you pay. You have my promise that I will put all of my energy into making you the best diver possible.
