Dive Specialty Courses

Filter

      For aspiring divers looking to get started, an open-water certification can seem like the end goal, but as anyone that already has their certification card can attest, it’s really only the beginning. An open-water certification indicates mastery of the basic skills required to stay safe underwater, but if you really want to thrive — and enjoy diving to its fullest — it takes experience and a range of new skills, customized to your interests and the places you want to dive.

      “It’s important to continue your education as a diver for several reasons,” says Karl Shreeves, PADI’s technical-development executive. “it answers the question many newly certified divers have: ‘Now what?’ Second, every course you take expands your skill set and your experience, opening doors to new diving opportunities. Third, it’s a great way to connect with other divers.” For all these reasons and more, PADI offers a vast lineup of continuing-education courses that provide experience and training for just about any diving activity you can imagine.  Both distinctive specialties, such as Wreck Diver, or Mine Diver, and core specialties like Night Diver and Underwater Navigator, just to name a few, keep you current with your diving — and they’re a whole of a lot of fun. “PADI instructors can offer two categories of specialty courses,” Shreeves says. “Standard PADI specialties have wide applications — these are core classes like Deep Diver or Digital Underwater photographer — while PADI Distinctive Specialties are created by an individual instructor, and approved by PADI, to teach a specialized skill or to highlight a unique experience in a destination.”

      Are you taking your diving to the next level?  See what’s available from this list of great courses below, and then check out what you need from the shop - and you'll be good to go!

      The PADI Deep Diver Certification opens up a new world to explore the many reefs and shipwrecks, that lie in the deeper depths from 18m-40m. 

      When following the right procedures and safety considerations, deep diving can be very rewarding, allowing you to visit dive sites that would otherwise be out of reach.

      This course will, in a safe and controlled manner, highlight the additional risks that come with diving at increased depths, and therefore the extra care that should be taken when venturing into the deep.

      During the dives, you will conduct exercises with your instructor that will allow you to see the effects of pressure on different objects, and how that pressure can affect you.

      The course cost does not include dive gear. Full gear hire $100.

      Whether purpose-sunk as an artificial reef for scuba divers, or lost as the result of an accident, wrecks are fascinating windows to the past. There are many different types of wrecks, some of which are protected by laws that guard their historical and cultural significance.

      Ships, airplanes and even cars are fascinating to explore and usually teem with aquatic life. Each wreck dive offers a chance for discovery, potentially unlocking a mystery or spying something others have missed.

      Along Wellingtons south coast there have been multiple wrecks over time. We are extremely lucky to have the wreck of the F69, sunk deliberately as an artificial reef in 2005, less than 10 minutes boat ride from Dive Wellington.

      We also have the Yung Pen wreck. Accessible from the shore, it lies in less than 10m of water, again only minutes from the Dive Wellington store.

      The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course is popular because it offers rewarding adventures while observing responsible wreck diving practices.

      The course cost does not include dive gear. Full gear hire $100.

      Want to stay warm? Want to extend your scuba diving season? Then dive dry. A dry suit seals you off from the water and keeps you comfortable, even in surprisingly cold water. There is some incredible diving here in New Zealand that can get even better in colder months. Becoming a dry suit diver allows you to expand your boundaries and dive more places, more often.

      The first thing you’ll discover is which dry suit style and accompanying undergarments are right for you and the diving you’ll do. Then you’ll learn how to take care of your dry suit. During two dives, in addition to a confined water dive, you’ll practice:

      • Putting on and taking off your dry suit with minimal assistance.
      • Mastering buoyancy control using your dry suit.
      • Dive safety procedures when using a dry suit.

      You must have your own Drysuit, you can purchase one from us if you do not have one already. You can hire the rest of the scuba equipment for the duration of the course for $100.

      Prerequisites:

      You can start your course right away when you purchase "Start NOW".  You will be sent an eLearning code, a link to the eLearning web page, and instructions on how to access the online theory content.

      Although diving with a buddy is the norm, there are reasons for an experienced diver to develop self-reliance and independence while diving. Learning to carry out dives without a partner can make you a stronger diver in most dive situations.

      With proper training, equipment and the right attitude to accept the risks involved in independent diving, an experience diver can responsibly engage in dives without a buddy. Self-reliant diving is an adventure activity that is not for everyone, but does have its place. If you have the mental discipline and commitment to learn and follow self-reliant diving techniques, you’ll bolster your skills and confidence when diving alone, in a dive pair or as part of a team.

      The course cost does not include dive gear. Full gear hire $100.

      Prerequisites:
      • PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or equivalent certification

      The world’s mountain ranges are synonymous with sport, adventure and recreation. Thoughts of fresh mountain air, sheer rock faces, icy brooks and deep-blue skies conjure images of the Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and other ranges – places to escape civilization, taste excitement or just commune with nature. It’s no surprise, then, that those headed up into unspoiled heights include scuba divers.

      Fresh water mountain lakes are often cool, clean and clear, with interesting aquatic life. Artificial lakes and reservoirs formed amid mountains also offer unique diving opportunities. Both these natural and manmade wonders require special procedures for altitude diving. Altitude diving is your door to dive opportunities inland, away from the ocean, and amid some of the most beautiful surroundings on earth. And if you enjoy other pursuits that take you toward the top of the world, now you can bring your gear and scuba, too.

      Therefore the philosophy of this course is to focus on extending your students diving opportunities by teaching them accepted altitude diving techniques and procedures. The goal of this course is to serve as an introduction to altitude diving and help the student diver develop the necessary altitude diving skills, knowledge and techniques. Students should be able to safely plan, organize and execute no decompression dives at altitudes up to 3000 metres/10,000 feet.

      Students apply altitude diving knowledge and skills during actual open water dives. The course philosophy therefore, is to expand student diver knowledge about altitude diving and decompression theory, altitude diving physiology, altitude diving equipment considerations, and, using the recreational dive planner at altitude. Once learned, student divers apply the knowledge by making at least two open water dives practicing and demonstrating the practical aspects of altitude diving.

      Please enquire before purchasing as we only run trips up to Taupo for the altitude diving on set dates. Cost of travelling and staying in Taupo is not included in the course cost.

      Many divers wouldn’t think of diving without carrying a delayed surface marker buoy (DSMB), and for our boat dives it is required safety equipment. Knowing how to properly deploy and manage a DSMB are valuable skills learned in this course.

      Boats and currents are two common factors associated with many dive sites. Boaters don’t always recognize that divers are in the area and current can carry you further than expected. Launching a delayed surface marker buoy (DSMB) before you surface can alert others to your location in advance of your ascent. Adding another layer of safety, you can also use the DSMB line to complete your safety stop, which is advantageous in a current or when there are no other visual references. Take this course to learn about all the beneficial uses of a DSMB.

      You can purchase a DSMB instore for this course.

      The course cost does not include dive gear. Full gear hire $100.
