It also includes three specialty dives of your choice. You'll earn credit toward specialty certifications when you complete the course.
Adventure dives
To become a certified scuba diver, you must complete adventure dives. They improve your buoyancy and awareness, as well as your communication skills. Normally, you must complete 5 adventure dives before you can be certified. Your instructor will help improve your breathing and kick techniques as well teach you how you can plan your dives.
Adventure dives are the first dives in each specialty course, and they count towards the specialty you are working towards. This way, you'll be able to choose dives that will be useful in the future. PADI recommends that you choose dives with a wide variety of objectives, from deep exploration to exploring wrecks and wildlife.
Night dive
Students learn different techniques to make it safer underwater in an Advanced Open Water Diver course. They learn how they can breathe correctly and how to maintain their body's alignment. They also learn how dive lights work and communicate with their buddy. Students will have fun as they practice their skills by playing games in shallow water.
Night diving offers a unique way to see new underwater worlds. Night diving is an entirely different experience from daytime diving. Also, night dives can be more thrilling than daytime dives.

The course also teaches students about coral reefs, marine organisms, food chains, and the relationships between these different types of organisms. The course lasts for one day and involves two open water dives.
Peak performance buoyancy dive
Staying buoyant is one of the most important skills you can learn while diving. Maintaining buoyancy at all times is crucial as decompression illness can be caused by falling into the sea. Incorrect buoyancy control can also increase the chance of getting injured by sharp rocks and marine life. This specialty, the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty, is designed to assist divers in developing proper buoyancy control and avoiding these problems.
PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialistty is a 1-week course that includes classroom and pool sessions as well as two open water dives. The class also teaches students buoyancy control, which helps them glide through the water better. PPB's goal is to make diving more fun, efficient, and easier.
Maximum depth is 30m/100ft
You will be able to dive down to 100 feet with the PADI Advanced Open Water course. Dive deeper than this can be dangerous. You may get impaired cognitive function or nitrogen narcosis. Mistakes at this depth can lead to disaster. It is best to not go any deeper than this level without proper training.
The Advanced Open Water course can usually be completed in a period of 1.5 to 2 days. The instructor will decide the course's duration. The course can either be completed online or at the beach. It is important to have instructor training in advance of taking the course.
