WHAT WILL I LEARN DURING THE PADI BOAT DIVER SPECIALTY COURSE WITH DXDIVERS?
The PADI Boat Diver course is designed to prepare you to dive comfortably off any type of boat. Some divers become certified by conducting shore dives, so this course gets you ready for the exciting world of boat diving. Many of the best dives require a boat to get to and thankfully we do all of our diving off the Lady Go Diver. In this course, you will get familiar with boat terminology, how to properly enter and exit different boats and locating safety equipment.

Glad you asked! Here at DXDivers, we’re proud to have an all encompassing facility and dive boat to provide a convenient and relaxing scuba experience. We have a full retail store equipped with over 100 diving brands and over 3000 unique products. On-site, we also have a training pool out back and several classrooms upstairs. Once you’re certified, check out our drive-thru tank fill station so you don’t have to lug your tanks through the store. Best of all, you can hop on our 46-foot Newton custom dive boat, the Lady Go Diver, docked less than a mile from the shop. Did we mention we're the only dive shop in South Florida to have both a full retail dive shop and our own charter boat? We manage every aspect of our operation to better serve you and provide the best possible diving experience.

Yes! Whichever adventure dives you complete will count towards the first dive of each respective speciality. For example, the PADI Navigation Specialty requires 3 dives. For Advanced Open Water (AOW), Navigation is required to earn the certification. Once you complete AOW, you will only need 2 more dives to earn your PADI Navigation Specialty certification.
