    This is exactly what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. To participate in this course, you do not need to be an advanced diver - the course is designed to help you become an advanced diver and you can start immediately after your PADI Open Water Diver certification. The course helps you to improve your skills in various "adventure dives" and thus develop more confidence underwater. Under the supervision of your PADI instructor, you will get a taste of various specialty areas of diving and gain more and more diving experience. You enter more dives in your logbook and develop your diving skills with each dive, discovering new areas of diving that are even more fun. There are crediting options! Each Adventure Dive can be credited as the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty course. If you have already completed any PADI Specialty course, ask your instructor if it will count as an Adventure Dive. Who should take part in this course? PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 12 years old and ready to continue their diver training should enroll in an Advanced Open Diver course. Young divers ("Juniors") can only participate in certain adventure dives - check with your PADI Instructor. If you are already a PADI Adventure Diver, you only need to complete two more adventure dives to earn the Advanced Open Water Diver certification. You plan your course with your instructor by choosing different adventure dives from a long list. The course consists of a total of five dives: Two dives are compulsory - deep diving and underwater navigation - the other three are optional.

    You plan your course with your instructor by choosing different adventure dives from a long list. The course consists of five dives in total: Two dives are compulsory - Deep Diving and Underwater Navigation - the other three are optional. The Adventure Dive "Deep Diving" teaches you how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper dives. During the "Underwater Navigation" adventure dive, you will hone your navigation skills with the compass and learn to navigate better using landmarks on land and your fin strokes and the time measured. The other knowledge and skills you can acquire will expand your areas of interest and offer you new underwater adventures - underwater photo/video, buoyancy control, fish identification, wreck diving and much more.
