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.


No matter what your interest you can progress at your own pace
but the most popular way is to complete the whole program in one weekend.

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 ZONE 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 at the weekend at an inland dive site called Stoney Cove in Leicestershire (1-2 hours out of London) and comprises a fun combination of short self-study sessions completed at home in your own time (there is 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 or BOAT DIVER
to name but a few.
