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 will you learn?

The PADI Boat Diver course will expand your knowledge about boats from small inflatables to large liveaboards. Among the things you will learn are:

Dive from boats ranging from small inflatables to giant live-aboards :
how they differ from place to place
gain experience and training from diving on boats in your local area
Safely enter and exit the water :
sometimes it’s better to hand your gear up to the crew and then climb in the boat
sometimes you just take off your fins and weights and walk up the ladder

Use surface lines to initiate or conclude your dives.
Locate basic boat safety equipment
