Exploration, Excitement, Experiences: That’s what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and SSI Advanced Adventurer course is all about. You don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. You try out different specialties while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI/SSI Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new ways to have fun scuba diving.

 

Each Adventure Dive may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding Specialty Diver Course. If you’re already an Adventure Diver, you only need to complete two more Adventure Dives to earn the Advanced Open Water Diver certification.

 

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. You can choose from Peak Performance Buoyancy (highly recommended), Night Diving, Boat Diving, Drift Diving, Multilevel and Computer Diving, Search and Recovery, Fish ID, Underwater Naturalist, Underwater Photography and Wreck Diving.

 

• And at the end of the course, you will be certified to dive to a maximum depth of 30 meters (98 feet)
