PADI Altitude Diver

Imagine descending below the surface of a clear mountain lake to explore a well-preserved wreck. Interested? Any time you scuba dive at an altitude higher than 300 metres/1000 feet above sea level, you’re altitude diving. If you’re ready to discover a hidden world where few have ventured, then the PADI Altitude Diver Specialty course is for you.

The OTB Diving PADI Altitude Diver Course:

Learning to adjust your dive plan for the reduced surface pressure at altitude is an important part of the course. You’ll complete two scuba dives and learn:

Altitude dive planning, organization, procedures and techniques.

How to adjust your dive computer for altitude diving or calculate altitude dive profiles using the RDP Table or eRDPMLTM.

How to avoid problems and handle emergency situations, if they occur, at altitude.

Included in the OTB Diving Altitude Diver Course

• PADI Altitude Diver Manual/eLearning
• 2 qualification training dives
• PADI Certification card
• Rental of all scuba equipment
• FREE use of Dive Computer

The course takes 1 day to finish once you completed the classroom session. The day is spent away at a local dive site where you will conduct your 2 Altitude Dives. This is usually completed at a local dive site, but your course can be completed anywhere in the world.
