Are there depth restrictions with SUBEX?
The depth you are allowed to dive of course depends on your experience, training and form on the day. In general, there is a depth limit of 40 m. Divers certified by AOWD/T** and with at least 20-30 dives’ experience may dive to this limit unaccompanied. For accompanied dives, depth limits are given by the guide during the briefing depending on the experience of individual guests. Open Water Divers may dive down to 18 m unaccompanied; the depth limit may be extended provided that they dive accompanied by a SUBEX employee to gauge whether they are sufficiently qualified. There is a maximum depth of 12 m for young people aged 10-11 and 15 m for those aged 12-14.
