Adventure Diver

 
 

The PADI Adventure Diver course expands on your knowledge and skills as a diver by introducing you to 3 specialty areas. This program provides divers with a structured means to explore special diving interests and gain dive experience.  For certification, you’ll complete 3 Adventure Dives of you choice. After you become an Adventure Diver, you may credit these dives towards your Advanced Open Water Certification.


No matter what your interest, you progress at your pace. You don’t have to do everything at once - you can make Individual Adventure Dives here and there as your interests dictate. Or, we can complete this course in just one day. Let us know what you would like to learn more about and your desired timeline.
