PADI Advanced Open Water Diver

As a certified Advanced Open Water diver, you can plot your own course through an almost endless selection of the underwater adventures.  Take photos of walls and deep canyons.  Stretch your imagination to cobalt water surrounding sheer cliffs of vivid coloured sponges.  Huge sea-fans and vast schools of fish of every shape and size.  Or perhaps envision a deep kelp forest, with it’s cool, green shadows, where movement is slow and peaceful.  Such deeper dives,  wherever the location or for whatever the purpose, apply easily learned techniques that are useful on every diver’s chosen adventure.

The Adventures in Diving program offers both the PADI Adventure Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver certifications. If you complete any three adventure dives, you can earn your PADI Adventure Diver certification. If you complete your Deep Adventure Dive, Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive and three Adventure Dives for a total of five, you can earn your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
