Advanced
If you are already a certified diver you can continue your adventures with an advanced training course. You may wish to pursue a specialist area of diving, or just wish to extend your expertise. Most advanced courses will include mandatory 'difficulty' dives such as night dives, deep dives and low visibility dives. There is usually the opportunity to take an elective element also, such as diving for search and rescue, or for photography. Scubadex recommends the Advanced divers course run by PADI (see our Associations drop-down for details)
PADI's Adventures in Diving program offers both the Adventure Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver certifications. If you complete any three adventure dives, you can earn your PADI Adventure Diver certification. If you complete your Dee p Adventure Dive, Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive and three Adventure Dives for a total of five, you can earn your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
After your five dives, you'll be more experienced, feel more comfortable in the water and simply enjoy diving more because you better understand the underwater environment. To enroll on the course you'll need;
