Description
The PADI Adventures in Diving Program offers both the Adventure Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver certifications.
If you complete any three adventure dives, you can earn your PADI Adventure Diver certification. If you complete your Deep Adventure Dive, Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive, and three Adventure Dives for a total of five, you can earn your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
You'll be more experienced, feel more comfortable in the water, and simply enjoy diving more because you better understand the underwater environment.
This certification includes five Adventure Dives, including the Deep Adventure Dive, the Underwater Navigator Adventure Dive and three of the following:
- Peak Performance Buoyancy
- Deep
- Night Dive
- Wreck
- Navigation
How long will it take?
- 15 hours recommended
- Five dives over two days for Minimum Open Water Training (Max 3 dives in one day)
Where can I go from here?

PADI Adventure Dives can also credit towards the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver certifications.
