Advanced Open Water Diver is a course that will help you take your diving skills to the next step. This course will improve buoyancy, navigation, deep diving, and other skills. The course also allows you to take three specialty dives. When you finish the course, you will earn credit towards specialty certifications.
Adventure dives
To become a certified scuba diver, you must complete adventure dives. They will improve your buoyancy, awareness, and 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 in any specialty course and count towards the specialty you're working towards. By doing this, you can choose dives which will prove useful for the future. PADI suggests divers choose dives with many objectives. This includes deep exploration and exploring wrecks and wildlife.
Night dive
Advanced Open Water Divers teaches students about various techniques that make them safer underwater. They learn how they can breathe correctly and how to maintain their body's alignment. They also learn to communicate with each other and how to use diving lights. They will have a lot of fun playing in shallow waters and practicing their skills.
Night diving is an excellent way to explore new underwater worlds. It's a totally different experience than diving during daytime, and night dives offer more excitement than daytime. Even though night diving can seem scary, they aren't as difficult as you might imagine. Instructors will help you learn proper techniques and get you through the challenges of 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 are also taught about the importance marine conservation, including biodiversity conservation.
For divers who have successfully completed the PADI Open Diver certification, and want to learn more about the marine environment. Students learn about coral reefs, marine species, food chains, and relationships between them. It lasts for one full day and involves two open water diving.
Peak performance buoyancy diver
Staying buoyant is one of the most important skills you can learn while diving. You must be buoyant all the time, as falling in water can cause decompression sickness. Poor buoyancy control can increase your risk of injury from marine life or sharp rocks. PADI Peak Performance Bulkancy Specialty was created to assist divers with proper buoyancy control so they can avoid 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. It teaches students about buoyancy control and allows them to glide more easily through the water. The PPB program is all about making diving more enjoyable, fun, and efficient.
Maximum depth 30m/100ft
You will be able to dive down to 100 feet with the PADI Advanced Open Water course. Deeper than that is dangerous, as you can experience nitrogen narcosis. In addition, mistakes at this depth can be disastrous. This is why you shouldn't go deeper than that without proper training.
Most Advanced Open Water courses can be completed within one to two days. The instructor will determine the duration of the course. The course can either be completed online or at the beach. Instructor training is required before taking the course.
