The PADI Multilevel Course
Maximize your dive time so you can explore more!
In this course, you learn how to plan dives that extend your bottom time by crediting you for slower nitrogen absorption when you ascend to a shallower depth. That’s the way you really dive, after all.
The Fun Part
This is a great way to learn how to make multilevel dives even if you forget to bring your dive computer.
