Introduction

Duration: 1-2 days

Diving is simply great, but speciality courses make diving even better! Here are five reasons to choose a speciality course with Emperor Divers:

  • You will either learn knowledge or practice skills – or both – which are guaranteed to make your diving safer or more interesting – or both!
  • We have a full range of speciality courses from PADI, meaning you have a huge choice – pick whatever interests you
  • We have cherry-picked some specialties that help you make the most out of each of our unique locations and see the best they have to offer
  • Specialities help you attain PADI Master Scuba Diver rating
  • All our specialties are priced as bolt-ons to your scuba diving package, with all materials and certification fees included, so it’s very easy to add one to your diving package at any time – even when you’re in resort

So which Speciality should you do?

Quite simply there are three must do speciality courses with Enriched Air (NITROX) being the main. The other two are:

  • PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy
    Learn underwater control, lose some weight from your belt and extend your dive time by improving your air consumption. You’ll achieve all three – we promise.
  • PADI Deep Diver
    The only specialty that gets you a new depth rating. Dive to the limit of recreational diving and see what life’s like at 40 metres. 

But we also recommend trying some specialities for our individual dive resorts:

  • Our individual dive centres may have specific courses in which they specialise. For example, Sharm El Sheikh is great for PADI Drift Diver and PADI Night Diver while Port Ghalib has their exclusive PADI Dugong Appreciation Specialty and PADI Digital Underwater Photographer. To find out more about what might be on offer at a particular resort you can contact our team on [email protected].
