SPECIALTY DIVER
In addition to all PADI basic diving courses that are aimed at teaching you to dive in a relaxed and safe manner, you can also specialize in a specific branch of diving. PADI has a large number of specialties that focus on a specific branch of diving.
The 3 most popular PADI specialties are the Nitrox specialty, the Deep Diver specialty and the Dry Suit specialty.
In addition to these 3 specialties, you can also follow many other PADI specialties.
​
​
PADI ENRICHED AIR NITROX
The PADI ENRICHED AIR NITROX specialty has been the most popular PADI specialty for years.
And that's not so strange. Because diving with "enriched air" has many advantages compared to diving with normal air. Longer diving times are possible and the use of a breathing gas with a higher oxygen percentage makes diving a lot healthier and safer. Especially for diving between 18 and 25 meters and diving abroad, we benefit from diving with oxygen-enriched air at our holiday destination.
Nowadays, Nitrox is offered free of charge or with a small extra charge at many holiday destinations, provided that the diver is of course in possession of a PADI EANx license.

PADI DEEP DIVER
Beautiful wrecks that unfortunately have sunk a little deeper than your depth limit of 18 meters? A spectacular dive with many large fish is deeper than what you have ever been?
These beautiful dive sites seem inaccessible but not with the PADI DEEP DIVER certification.
With this specialty you have the opportunity to visit these wrecks or special locations. With this certification you can change your depth limit from 30 meters to 40 meters. This is the maximum depth for sport divers.
The PADI Deep Diver specialty may be taken after your Advanced training.
A lot of attention will be given to the ascent. In addition, we will use a deco balloon, diving reel and dive computer as easy tools that make deep diving more comfortable and safer.

PADI DRY SUIT
Staying warm in cold water is very important and keep diving comfortable, especially if you want to dive all year round, such as in the Netherlands. Especially during the colder months the visibility is better and the dive sites are less crowded. Ideal.
A drysuit makes it possible to dive all year round and still do it comfortably and warmly, even in extreme situations such as "diving under the ice".
To be able to dive well and safely with a dry suit it is important that you learn how to handle a dry suit properly and learn new diving techniques in the PADI Dry Suit specialty.
During this practical course you will do a swimming pool dive and 2 outdoor water dives to get to know the techniques of diving in a dry suit.
