The PADI Specialty Courses

The PADI Specialty courses are designed for certified divers who wish to refine their skills in a specific area of diving or develop new diving abilities.

​Specialties are “mini-courses” within the PADI training system, consisting of one or more open water dives

(sometimes preceded by pool sessions) and may include a theoretical component.

Successfully completing a specialty earns you a PADI Specialty certification.

​The great thing about these courses is the wide range of options available—there’s practically a Specialty for every interest!

​Each Specialty also brings you closer to achieving the highest recreational diving certification, the Master Scuba Diver certification.
