Boat Diver

The PADI Boat Diver program makes diving easy - just take one giant step off the back and you're in the water!  Diving from a boat is fun, especially when you look at ease when maneuvering around on it. It’s fun to know what you’re doing.

Whether you’ve never made a boat dive or you’ve logged dozens, the PADI Boat Diver Specialty course can benefit almost every diver because different boats in different parts of the world do things differently.

During the Boat Diver program you'll go on two open water dives, which must be - you got it - conducted from a boat.  If you conduct a Boat Dive from the Adventures in Diving course it counts toward the certification requirements for this specialty at the discretion of the instructor.

Prerequisites:

PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver.  10 years of age or older.
