Boat Diver

Who should take this course?


Much of the worlds best scuba diving is accessible only by boat. Whether you have never made a boat dive or you have logged dozens, the PADI Boat Diver Specialty course will benefit you because boats in various parts of the world do things differently. Scuba diving from a boat is fun and relatively easy because you usually descend directly onto your dive site.

If you are a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 10 years old, you can enroll in the Boat Diver course.

What will you learn?


The PADI Boat Diver course will expand your knowledge about boats from small inflatables to large liveaboards. You will gain experience scuba diving by completing two dives from a boat in your local area and learn:

  • Boat terminology.
  • Boat diving procedures and etiquette, including how to enter and exit, and where to stow your gear.
  • Boating safety, including how to locate safety equipment.

Also, the first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification - ask your instructor about earning credit.

How can you start learning now?


You can start by reading the PADI Boat Diver Manual and watching the Boat Diving video in preparation for meeting with your instructor to schedule the boat dives. Stop by your local PADI Dive Centre to enroll in the course and get your Boat Diver Crew-Pack and start learning.

What scuba gear will you use?


Beyond using basic scuba equipment, you will want to have a surface signalling device, such as an inflatable signal tube. Having a complete spare parts kit is also a good idea. Your PADI Instructor and local dive centre staff may suggest additional equipment depending on what type of boat and where your boat diving adventures take you.
