Specialty PADI Courses
One of the best things about learning to dive is that it opens doors to opportunities far beyond the mere act of scuba diving.
As you progress, it's likely that you'll discover new skills and interests within the sport of diving, and now PADI gives you the chance to achieve specialist level in some of these areas.
Mabul Island in Sabah, Malaysia is one of the best places to take a Specialty course as it offers great facilities and excellent diving conditions suitable for learning.

More about Specialty Diving Courses
Further education for enthusiastic divers. One of the best things about learning to dive is that the certification card turns out to be a library card: every interest you discover underwater has a course that deepens it. PADI's specialty system is how diving keeps getting better after Open Water — and a dive holiday here is the ideal place to collect the ones that actually change your diving.
Our honest guide to which specialties earn their keep in these waters:
- Enriched Air Nitrox — the universal answer; more bottom time on every multi-dive day.
- Digital Underwater Photographer — Mabul is the best macro classroom in diving; leave with skills and a portfolio.
- Underwater Navigator — the independence skill; three dives, permanent upgrade.
- Multi-Level Diver — plan Sipadan's walls the way they're meant to be dived.
- AWARE Fish ID — know what you're looking at, forever.
- Emergency Oxygen Provider — the one for the whole boat, divers and non-divers alike.
- Self-Reliant Diver — for the experienced; discipline that improves buddy diving too.
Specialties also stack toward Master Scuba Diver — five specialties plus Rescue — and most thread through a normal dive week without costing you sites. Contact us with your interests and we'll build the course-and-diving mix.
