Padi Altitude Diver Course - Ottawa Scuba

PADI is the world’s leading scuba diver training organization. The PADI System of diver education is based on progressive training that introduces skills, safety-related information and local environmental knowledge to student divers in stages. PADI courses are student-centered and provide maximum practice and realistic application. Sharky's Scuba Supply in Ottawa, Ontario is a 5 star certified Padi Dive Center.

Today I will be talking about the ALTITUDE DIVER COURSE.

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.

PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 10 years old are eligible to take the 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.
