Notes
Although not a requirement, a Divemaster level of knowledge of diving theory is highly desirable, and without it students may find it difficult to meet the equivalency pre-assessment criteria. It is not however necessary to complete a full IANTD Deep Diver course. A combination of Deep Diver\Advanced EANx is the best option. This course takes four to five days, includes six dives with at least 160 minutes of bottom time and at least four dives deeper than 30m\100 Ft., also includes further knowledge development on areas such as physical and psychological aspects for deep diving, gas management, breathing techniques etc. For this combined program contact us for an individual quotation. This does not include the certification fee or Manual for Deep Diver, which are optional.
