Main Info
What is drift diving exactly? Well, drift diving is broadly defined as diving in a current, wherein you are transported from one point to another by the water movement rather than by your own power.
Many scuba divers know that diving is often compared to being in outer space or flying. Well, nothing comes close to that feeling than gliding along above a reef on a drift dive.
A drift dive in a gentle to medium-strong current can be one of the most relaxing dives you can do. Gliding along and watching the reef go by with little to no effort.
The PADI Drift Diver Specialty Course will get you prepared to plan and execute your own drift dives with confidence.
