What is the common depth for beginner scuba divers?

As a beginning diver, you will be certified in an open water course. Upon completion, the diver is cleared to go down 60 ft. It is advisable to get more training such as a deep diver certification if you wish to go farther. The recreational limit is 130 ft. with proper training. Personally, I like 30 ft. depth in the Caribbean waters.

How deep can an advanced scuba diver go?

Most recreational divers rarely dive below 100 feet. The average depth for a dive is around 60 feet.AdditionThere is a difference between the average deepest depth of of dives in general and the average depth of a single dive.
