Altitude Diver Specialty

Explore Where Few Divers Ever Go.

Diving at elevations higher than 300 metres / 1,000 feet above sea level is known as altitude diving—and it opens the door to a unique and rarely explored underwater world. From pristine mountain lakes to historic, well-preserved wrecks, altitude diving offers unforgettable experiences far from the crowds.

Imagine descending into crystal-clear alpine waters, surrounded by dramatic scenery above and below the surface. These environments require specialized knowledge and planning, and the PADI Altitude Diver Specialty equips you with the skills and confidence to dive safely and responsibly at higher elevations.
