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 based just next to the sea. Our local dive site is full of different fish, octopus and more with crystal water and very good visibility at max depth 17m.
Shore diving is an affordable and adventurous way to explore the underwater world. The appeal of shore diving is often its flexibility and convenience without the need for boat logistics, the sites can be visited at most times of day.
Our dive site is ideal for all sorts of dive training, novices, divers who need refresh and advanced divers.
Slow and easy entry from the beach, where we meet a sandy flat plateau from 0-5m depth, pool like conditions, where we can practice our breathing, swimming and buoyancy which is important and safe for novices and divers who haven't dived for a while.
Less than 5 min swimming from our entry point and passing the plateau is following a slow and gentle slope up to 12-13 m where we meet a second plateau up to 17-18m deep. There among others you can see replicas of Greek statues standing on the seabed, an excellent spot for photos.
The dive site bottom is composed of sand, rock, sea grass and Posidonia oceanica fields. The underwater life is surprisingly rich for a shore dive.
Typical aquatic life while scuba diving in Kos: octopus, rockfish, scorpion fish, nudibranchs, macro life, schools of fish, all kinds of breams, triggerfish, stingrays, cuttlefish, small groupers, lionfish and much more.
Occasional sightings of amberjacks hunting out in the blue, small tunas and Mediterranean barracudas.
Some species that you will be able to observe are unique to our sea (endemic species) and some of them Lessepsian immigrants from the Red sea.
