• Heard about our unique “string of pearls”? Discover it on a Night Dive.
• Tired of being completely lost underwater? Learn Underwater Navigation!
• Trumpetfish, drumfish, parrotfish, puddingwife, slippery dick…which is which? Try Fish ID!

Take the next step with this 5-dive course; completed in only 2-3 days. Deep dive and Navigation plus 3 more dives of your choice!

Choose from:  AWARE Fish Identification, Boat Dive, Digital Underwater Photography, Drift Dive,  Night Dive, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Search & Recovery Dive, Underwater Naturalist & Wreck Dive.

Peak Performance Buoyancy is strongly recommended – we are protectors of the reef, remember, and you’ll have more fun and longer dives too.

The course is entirely flexible and the dives can be scheduled at your leisure. You can, if you want, do the Adventure Dives one-at-a-time and complete your course elsewhere in the world, or just for fun.

These dives can also count as the first dive of the corresponding specialty.

*10-11 year olds can complete the Junior Adventure Diver course, which is any three of the dives above. These students are still limited to 12m/40ft, so cannot complete the deep dive. 12-14 year olds can achieve the Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification, certifying them to dive to 21m/70ft with a PADI Professional or a parent/guardian.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t have enough time to complete all of my five adventure dives on holiday?

Not to worry each adventure dive you do counts towards to your Advanced qualification. If you manage to do 3 adventure dives with us then we are able to certify you with the Adventure Diver to show your progress towards your advanced certification.

After completing this course am certified in each of the specialties?

No sadly not, as each of the dives you completed for your Advanced certification are only tasters of each specialty and only count as the first dive of each specialty.

So what should I do next after this certification?
