After completing the Open Water Diver course, you know how to handle yourself underwater. You can observe and enjoy the underwater world. More experienced divers engage in all sorts of activities while they are underwater. The Adventures in Diving program allows you to try some of these activities to allow you to find out what you like most. A second objective is that we keep you busy with the activities – this is done with the intent to draw your attention away from general diving skills. This helps you to develop the habit of taking care of your buoyancy and staying close to your buddy as an automatism.
The first certification option is the Adventure Diver. The first day you start with a review of the things you have learned in the Open Water Diver course. You then participate in three dives of your choice. If you do the course immediately after the Open Water Diver course, the review is not needed. The three dives then take one and a half day. If it has been a while since you got certified, the review session will be included and you should plan two full days to become an Adventure Diver.
You can chose from the following dives. All dives are available if you are 12 years or older. If you are 10 or 11, you can opt for the dives that are marked with a star. The Enriched Air dive is only available if you are 15 years or older.
For each dive there is a theory part and a dive. Some dives also require some skill preparation on land. The theory for the dives is part of the PADI Adventures in Diving manual. The book contains a chapter for each activity. For your course you only complete the chapters for the dives of your choice. After you have completed three of the chapters and have done the corresponding dive, you will be certified as an Adventure Diver.
Adding one day to the Adventures in Diving program allows you to complete two additional dives. To become an Advanced Open Water Diver, your choice is more limited – you have to do the Deep dive and the underwater navigation dive as part of the total of five dives for this certification. The other three dives are your choice. The Advanced Open Water certification is a prerequisite to continue your diver training with the Rescue Diver course. Depending how long it has been since you did your last course, the complete Advanced Open Water Diver course takes two and a half to three days - continuing from Adventure Diver one to one and a half days.
The College can offer complete flexibility for the scheduling of your course. You can opt for half or full days, do several days of training without taking a break or take your course one day at a time. Learning is a personal experience and you should opt for a schedule that fits your needs. The current prices for our courses and services are found in the latest version of our brochure.
