Sub-Mission ran a PADI Deep Diver Specialty as well this weekend with Paul, who was keen to be able to learn more about the techniques of deeper diving. He learnt the processes necessary with regard to planning, preparation and conducting deep dives as well as experiencing changing factors such as temperature, light and pressure as you go deeper.
Paul was also given a redundant air source to carry on one of the dives in order to get used to differing equipment considerations and configurations. He was also tasked with breathing from this during an extended safety stop to simulate an emergency scenario. One of the skills that Paul had to complete was a timed task on the surface and then again underwater to see if he was feeling any effects of nitrogen narcosis. The time it took Paul was exactly the same for both tests however; he did say that he had to concentrate harder at depth.
Well done to Paul for a great weekend’s diving and congratulations PADI Deep Diver!
