The Deep Diver Specialty course offers you the opportunity of a lifetime - going deep to see things others can only dream about.
Although this is not a decompression techniques course, you will learn about decompression procedures including: "Blue" and reference descents and ascents, longer safety stops, the use of the deco SMB, nitrogen narcosis and decompression sickness theory and the use of dive computers including avoiding the need for stage decompression. Your course will also include teachings on the purpose, problems, hazards, planning, preparation, equipment, air supplies, personnel, techniques, gas management, emergency procedures, and depth limits for recreational diving. Deep diving is defined as dives made between 60 feet / 18 meters and 130 feet / 40 meters.
Dive site
Our dive center is located right by the sea, offering direct access to a local dive site with clear, crystal waters and excellent visibility. The maximum depth ranges between 17 and 18 meters. The site is rich in diverse marine life, including octopuses, rockfish, scorpionfish, nudibranchs, schools of bream, triggerfish, stingrays, lionfish, and much more.
Shore diving is an affordable and flexible way to explore the underwater world, without the need for boat logistics.
It’s ideal for any time of the day, and our site is perfect for all levels of divers—whether you are training, refreshing your skills, or are an advanced diver.
The dive begins with a slow, easy entry from the beach to a sandy plateau between 0–5 meters, offering calm, pool-like conditions.
This is an ideal spot to practice breathing, swimming, and buoyancy, especially for novices or those who haven't dived in a while.
A short swim from this plateau, you’ll find a gentle slope leading down to a second plateau at 12–17 meters.
Here, you can find replicas of Greek statues on the seabed, a unique and scenic spot for underwater photography.
The seafloor is a mix of sand, rock, seagrass, and Posidonia oceanica fields, supporting an unexpectedly rich variety of marine life for a shore dive.
Marine Life in Kos
Typical marine life you might encounter includes octopuses, rockfish, scorpionfish, nudibranchs, schools of bream, triggerfish, stingrays, lionfish, and more. Occasionally, you might spot amberjacks, small tunas, or Mediterranean barracudas hunting in the blue. Some species are unique to our waters, while others are Lessepsian immigrants from the Red Sea.
