PADI Drift Diver Specialty
Price: €180,00
Gliding with the currents and feeling the rush of flying through the underwater realm is what drift diving is all about.
This course shows you how to enjoy ocean currents by “going with the flow,” staying with your dive partner, communicating with the dive boat and knowing where you are at all times.
Book this course with Simply Diving and we’ll take you to Las Bovedas reef in Marbella or Punta Marroqui in Tarifa.
Course Description
During your PADI Drift Diver Specialty course, you will go on two open water dives (which may be conducted in one day).
