If you are ready to improve your diving skills, then you should take the Advanced Open Water Diver course. This course will improve buoyancy, navigation, deep diving, and other skills. You can also choose three specialty dives. When you successfully complete the course, credit will be earned towards specialty certifications.
Adventure dives
It is essential to take adventure dives in order to be a certified scuba diver. These dives improve your awareness and buoyancy, as well as communication skills. You need to have completed 5 adventures dives in order to become certified. Your instructor will teach you planning and breathing techniques and how to improve your breathing.
These dives count towards your specialty and are called adventure dives. By doing this, you can choose dives which will prove useful for the future. PADI recommends that you choose dives with a wide variety of objectives, from deep exploration to exploring wrecks and wildlife.
Night dive
Advanced Open Water Divers teaches students about various techniques that make them safer underwater. They learn to control their breathing and adjust their body positions. They also learn to communicate with each other and how to use diving lights. Students will have lots of fun while practicing their skills in shallow-water games.
Night diving is an excellent way to explore new underwater worlds. It is a completely new experience, and night diving is more exciting than regular daytime diving. Even though night diving is scary, it's not difficult. An instructor can help you master the techniques and assist you in overcoming any problems that may arise from night diving.
Underwater naturalist dive
PADI's Underwater Naturalist course is designed to teach students how to interact in the aquatic ecosystem. Students learn about basic organism groupings and identification, how these species live in different habitats and how to practice environmentally-friendly diving. They also learn about the importance of marine conservation, including conservation of biodiversity.
For divers who have successfully completed the PADI Open Diver certification, and want to learn more about the marine environment. This course teaches divers about coral reefs and marine organisms as well as food chains and the relationships among these organisms. The course is one-day long and includes two open water dives.
Peak performance buoyancy dive
The most important skill to master when diving is to maintain buoyancy. It's crucial to stay buoyant at all times, since falling into the water without correct buoyancy can lead to decompression illness. A lack of proper buoyancy control increases the likelihood of being injured by sharp rocks or other marine life. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty is designed to help divers develop proper buoyancy control and avoid these problems.
PADI Peak Performance is a one-week course that includes both classroom and pool sessions as scuba diving, with the option of two open water dives. It teaches students about buoyancy control and allows them to glide more easily through the water. This PPB program aims to make diving more fun, easier, and more efficient.
Maximum depth 30m/100ft
In the PADI Advanced Open Water course, you will learn the skills needed to dive to a depth of 100 feet. Deeper than that is dangerous, as you can experience nitrogen narcosis. It is possible to make mistakes at this level, which can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, you should never dive deeper than this without proper training.
The Advanced Open Water course is usually completed within a 1.5 to two-day period. The instructor determines the length of the course. You can choose to take the course on-line or at your local beach. It is important to have instructor training in advance of taking the course.
