The minimum depth for the deep dives is between 18 to 30 meters/60 to 100 feet, with no dive exceeding 40 meters/130 feet.   All your dives will be conducted within the no-decompression limits, with deeper dives conducted first.

During your program, you'll cover the knowledge, skills and techniques needed to dive deep.   The following is included in the PADI Deep Diver program:

• Planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of deep diving.
• Risk factors and decompression-tables review.
• Safety stops and emergency decompression procedures.
• Special equipment, descent lines and buoyancy-control considerations.
  
• Use of dive computers including "deep stop"
• Procedures for flying after diving and high-altitude diving.
• Orientation to recompression chambers.
