PADI Adventures In Diving Program

Previously known as the PADI Advanced Course this is the first step beyond the Open Water Diver Qualification. The Adventures in Diving program offers a different experience and two training options that range from simple introductions to underwater activities to more challenging experiences and, ultimately, two different certifications.

PADI’s Adventures in Diving Program not only fine tunes your diving skills it also allows you to explore the most intense adventures diving has to offer. Of the certifications you can earn the first option is the PADI Adventure Diver certification. This can be completed by making three Adventure dives in just one day. These dives count toward the Advanced Open Water Diver certification. For this qualification you need to complete the Underwater Navigation and Deep Adventure Dives. You can go directly from Open Water Diver to Advanced Open Water Diver. As an Advanced diver you are able to dive to 30m.

As a PADI Open Water Diver, NAUI Scuba Diver / Open Water 1, BSAC Sports Diver / Ocean diver or SAA Club Diver this is the next step along the path of PADI continuing education. As with all courses at Scuba Solutions we are totally flexible to your needs with this course being run all year round.

ADVENTURES IN DIVING – Advanced Open Water Certification

The course is conducted over two days, the first on a Sunday at an inland dive site called Leybourne Lake, the second at another deeper lake called Stoney Cove in Leicestershire. The course comprises a fun combination of short self-study sessions completed at home in your own time (no exam to this course!) and open water dives in five areas of recreational diving.

As above, two stipulated CORE dives must be completed in DEEP and NAVIGATIONAL work, during which new skills are learnt and practiced, such as how to use a compass.

These dives are then followed by three other ELECTIVE dives in line with your interests and the recommendations of your instructor. These could be WRECK, DRIFT, SEARCH AND RECOVERY, PEAK PERFORMANCE BOUYANCY, DRY SUIT, PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHY, NIGHT, MULTILEVEL or BOAT DIVER to name but a few.
