- if you have your basic Open Water certification you should not exceed 60 feet or 18 metres.
- The recreational depth limit for diving is 132 feet or 40 metres with your deep diving and/or advanced certification.
- If you have a technical certification and are trained to use different gas mixtures you can go deeper than this.
