Project Description
Adventures in Diving
The PADI Adventures in Diving program
The PADI Adventures in Divingprogram helps you get more out of diving by introducing you to new types of scuba diving adventures. It’s a great opportunity to work with your instructor to build your scuba diving skills and gain more confidence.
The Fun Part
Have you always wanted to try underwater photography? How about wreck diving? Here’s your chance because you can sample dives of your choice, get a taste of what you like, and feel more at ease in the water, strengthening your underwater skills and letting you enjoy scuba diving more than ever.
- Get credit! Each Adventure Dive may be credited toward the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty course. This means you can be well on your path to becoming a Master Scuba Diver.
What You Learn
You can choose what you’re most interested in learning. Need to work on your buoyancy skills? Try the Peak Performance Buoyancy Adventure Dive. Want to know what you’re looking at down there? Try the AWARE-Fish Identification Adventure Dive. With any three Adventure Dives you can be certified as PADI Adventure Diver – for Advanced Open Water Diver certification (AOW) you need to make Navigation and Deep Dives plus any three other adventure dives.

Prerequisites
To take the Adventures in Diving program you must be
- A PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization)
- Minimum age: 10 years old (Youngsters between 10 and 15 years of age earn junior certification)
(One needs to be 12 years old to earn PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification)
Your Next Adventure
After your PADI Adventure dives you can take the next step by completing two more dives on corresponding Specialty Diver course. PADI Adventure Dives can also count towards PADI Specialty Diver certifications. For example, if you liked your Night Adventure Dive so much that you wanted to take a complete PADI Night Diver Specialty course, your Night Adventure Dive can count as the first dive of that specialty.
After being certified as Adventure diver with Navigation Adventure dive or as Advanced Open Water Diver you can be also certified as PADI Rescue Diver.
