As a certified PADI Advanced Open Water diver, you can plot your own course through an almost endless selection of underwater adventures. Take photos of walls and deep canyons. Stretch your imagination to cobalt water, surrounding sheer cliffs of vivid-colored sponges, huge sea fans and vast schools of fish in every shape and size.

 

The Adventures in Diving program, offers both the PADI Adventure Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver certifications. If you complete any 3 adventure dives, you can earn your PADI Adventure Diver certification. If you complete your Deep Adventure Dive, Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive and 3 Adventure Dives for a total of 5, you can earn your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
