PADI Drift Diver Courses
The PADI Drift Diver Speciality Course introduces you to the coolest magic carpet ride you’ll ever experience.

- Must be a PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver (or have a qualifying certification from another training organization) and be at least 12 years old
- Planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of drift diving
- An introduction to drift diving equipment - floats, lines, reels
- 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
- Certification counts toward the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.
