Boat Diver

Specialty Courses

Learn to scuba dive off different types of boats with confidence.

Much of the world’s best scuba diving is accessible only by boat.


Whether you’ve never made a boat dive or you’ve logged dozens, the PADI Boat Diver Specialty course can benefit almost every diver because different boats in different parts of the world do things differently.

What You Learn

Learn the tips, tricks and ways to:

  • Dive from boats ranging from small inflatables to giant live-aboards
  • How they differ from place to place
  • Gain experience and training from diving on boats in your local area
  • Safely enter and exit the water
