The PADI Adventure and Advanced Open Water Certifications are the natural progression after completing the PADI Open Water Course. These courses are usually combined and run over 2 days, consisting of 5 Adventure dives, of which one must be the Deep dive and one must be the Navigation dive. There are no classroom or pool sessions except for the elective Dry Suit dive which requires one pool session.
Our courses are normally conducted on the False Bay or Atlantic side, depending on the time of year. We also run advanced courses during our dive trips both inland and coastal dive sites when logistically possible and dive conditions are favorable. These courses are run by our highly experienced instructors and are run regularly throughout the year, on most days of the week and on weekends.
On completion of this exciting course you will be awarded with the Advanced Open Water Diver certification, which allows you to dive to a depth of 30 meters.
