    Nitrox Diver Upgrade

    The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI's most popular specialty diving course, and it's easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives and get back the water sooner and that's why so many divers choose this as their very first specialty. This course can be fully integrated into your Advanced Open water Course, meaning more time in the water and less time in the classroom PADI Nitrox Diver Course Info

    Deep Diver Upgrade

    Deep diving also means different things to different scuba divers. For some it is any dive deeper than 18 metres and for others it is any dive deeper than what they've done in the past. Whatever the definition, deep dives require planning and discipline in order to enjoy a safe deep dive. This course will safety allow you to dive down to 40m. PADI Deep Diver Course Info 

    Wreck Diver Upgrade

    Whether sunk on purpose as an artificial reef or the result of mishap, wrecks open fascinating windows to the past. Most divers find wrecked ships, airplanes and even cars nearly irresistible because they're intriguing to explore and exciting avenues of discovery, and usually full of aquatic life. The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course teaches you the ins and outs of rewarding, responsible, and safe wreck diving. PADI Wreck Diver Course Info
