The definitive reference guide for the modern diver. Mastering everything from advanced physics to marine ecology, this encyclopedia bridges the gap between basic certification and professional-level expertise.

Requirements

  • While mandatory for WADI Divemaster candidates it is open to all divers with a thirst for knowledge.
  • Open Water Diver (or equivalent) recommended for foundational context.

The Comprehensive Diver’s Encyclopedia is the ultimate knowledge repository for those who seek to understand the "why" behind the "how." While standard courses focus on skill execution, this resource dives deep into the science, history, and mechanics of the underwater world.

Developed as a core component of the WADI Professional Path (Divemaster and above), it serves as the academic backbone for future leaders. However, its clear, direct language makes it equally valuable for recreational divers who wish to enhance their safety, technical understanding, and appreciation for the ocean. Whether you are curious about the intricacies of decompression theory or the behavioural patterns of pelagic life, this encyclopedia provides the answers.
