Do you like going deep?

The matter of depth can be the subject of much speculation among visiting divers who perhaps have the desire to go deeper but not the know-how or equipment. There are many ways to go deeper as a diver. Under ‘Technical and Decompression Diving’ you’ll find out how to safely and comfortably train for deeper, longer diving. However, there is a ‘halfway house’ because not everyone wants to do deco or technical training with additional equipment such as twin-tanks.
 The limit for recreational or sport diver with a single tank is widely recognized as 40m. Here is a list of depth limits for all the ratings under the PADI agency:

The Deep Dive specialty rating provides the knowledge to dive safely at 40m using the recreational buddy system and no-decompression diving limits. This gives you the scope to begin a dive at greater depth and then use multi-level diving to finish in the shallows on a reef. Local examples here might be to visit the Thomas Reef Canyon between 30m and 40m for a few minutes and then continue at more regular depths for the remainder of the drift dive. Some ship wrecks may require a brief stint at depth before reaching the shallower parts of the vessel. With limited time and air and a closer visit to the maximum limits of the recreational dive tables and computers, you’ll need to know how to plan and conduct these dives safely.
Dives to 40m must be booked in advance at the counter. Not all guests wish to dive to this depth and the maximum limit set in the Red Sea for regular scuba divers is 30m. Beyond this a diver should hold the correct rating and conduct the dive with a qualified guide and buddy.
