Drift Diver

Who should take this course?


The PADI Drift Diver Specialty course teaches you how to enjoy going with the flow as you scuba dive down rivers and use ocean currents to glide along. It feels like flying - except that you are underwater using scuba equipment. Drift diving can be relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. If this sound like fun, then the Drift Diver course is for you.

If you are a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 12 years old, you can enroll in the Drift Diver specialty course.


What will you learn?


Along with drift diving techniques and procedures, you will:

  • Receive an introduction to drift diving equipment - floats, lines and reels.
  • Get an overview of aquatic currents - causes and effects.
  • Practice with buoyancy control, navigation and communication during two drift dives.
  • Learn techniques for staying close to a buddy or together as a group as you float with the current.

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?


Pick up a PADI Drift Diver Manual and the Drift Diving video to start learning immediately. Stop by your local PADI Dive Centre to enroll in the course and pick up your independent study materials.


What scuba gear will you use?


Along with your basic scuba equipment, you will learn to use various surface marker buoys and floats with lines and reels. Ask your PADI Instructor or local dive centre staff about other equipment you may need to get the most of your drift dives.
