PADI Advanced Open Water

PADI Advanced Open Water

Exploration, Excitement, Experiences.

PADI Advanced Open water, you don't have to be "advanced" to take it. The course is designed so you can enrol straight onto this course directly from the PADI Open Water Diver course. The course helps you increase your confidence and build skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt and continue to learn under the supervision of your PADI instructor.

The course builds on what you've learned by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun whilst scuba diving. Adventures in Diving program offers both the PADI Adventure Diver and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certifications. Complete any three adventure dives and you can earn your PADI Adventure Diver certification.

Nitrox Diver Upgrade

The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI's most popular specialty diving course, and it's easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives and get back the water sooner and that's why so many divers choose this as their very first specialty. PADI Nitrox Diver Course Info

Deep Diver Upgrade

Deep diving also means different things to different scuba divers. For some it is any dive deeper than 18 metres and for others it is any dive deeper than what they've done in the past. Whatever the definition, deep dives require planning and discipline in order to enjoy a safe deep dive. PADI Deep Diver Course Info 

Wreck Diver Upgrade

Whether sunk on purpose as an artificial reef or the result of mishap, wrecks open fascinating windows to the past. Most divers find wrecked ships, airplanes and even cars nearly irresistible because they're intriguing to explore and exciting avenues of discovery, and usually full of aquatic life. The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course teaches you the ins and outs of rewarding, responsible, and safe wreck diving. PADI Wreck Diver Course Info
