If you’re already an Adventure Diver, you only need to complete two more Adventure Dives to earn the Advanced Open Water Diver certification.

What will you learn

You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives.

There are two required dives – Deep and Underwater Navigation – and you choose the other three, for a total of five dives.

During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving.

The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive refines your compass navigation skills and helps you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time.

The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have – photography, buoyancy control, fish identification, exploring wrecks and many more.

What equipment do I need

Beyond using basic scuba equipment, you’ll need a compass and dive knife or dive tool.

There are many adventure dives to choose from

Adaptive Support
Boat
Digital Underwater Photography
Dry Suit
Enriched Air (Nitrox)
Fish Identification

Peak Performance Buoyancy

Each adventure dive is different from the next, with each one requiring different equipment such as dive light, lift bag, underwater camera etc.

Just like the PADI open water course we can provide all the equipment you need you just need to bring a swimming costume & a towel. Some dives require a pool session first so a T-shirt will be needed.
