DRIFT DIVER Let the Current Do the Work

The PADI Drift Diver Specialty course introduces you to the coolest magic carpet ride you’ll ever experience. This course shows you how to enjoy rivers and ocean currents by “going with the flow,” staying with your dive partner, communicating with the dive boat and knowing where you are the whole time.


The Fun Part

Drift Diving is nearly effortless and relaxing. You simply glide along and enjoy the rush of flying underwater while the current does the work.


What You Learn

During your PADI Drift Diver certification course, you learn about:

  • Planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of drift diving
  • An introduction to drift diving equipment -- floats, lines, reels, SMB, DSMB
  • Buoyancy-control, navigation and communication for drift diving
  • Site selection and overview of aquatic currents – causes and effects
  • Techniques for staying close to a buddy or together as a group

For all your learning materials and equipment, contact CALYPSO of TAMPA BAY.


Your Next Adventure

The Delayed Surface Marker Buoy course introduces you to deploying a surface marker buoy from depth without tangling yourself in it and letting the pick up boat know where you are, which can come in handy while drift diving.

For more information about this or other PADI courses have a chat with one of the CALYPSO of TAMPA BAY Team members.
