PADI Adventure Dive: Deep Dive - we wanted to be able to do a wreck dive later.
The instructor demonstrated how a red crisp packet changed colour and compressed deep under water, and how thinking can become slower at depth. Doing a simple math problem took longer than normal, but I managed to do it correctly.
