The PADI Adventure Diver CourseThe
PADI Adventure Diver course helps you get
more out of diving by introducing you to new
types of scuba diving adventures. It’s
a great opportunity to work with your instructor
to build your scuba diving skills and gain
more confidence.
The Fun Part
Have you always wanted to try underwater
photography? How about wreck diving? Here's
your chance because you can sample three dives
of your choice, get a taste of what you like,
and feel more at ease in the water, strengthening
your underwater skills and letting you enjoy
scuba diving more than ever.
• Get credit! Each Adventure Dive may
be credited toward the first dive of the corresponding
PADI Specialty course. This means you can
be well on your path to becoming a Master
Scuba Diver.

The Scuba
Gear You Use
You use all your basic scuba gear including
your underwater compass. Depending on which
three adventure dives you pick, you may also
try out underwater photography equipment ,
DPVs (underwater scooters), a dive light ,
a dry suit, lift bags, a dive flag/float or
other specialty gear.
We supply the latest BCDs and regulators
from Scubapro and Aqualung. All of our equipment
is like new and performs that way. We take
great pride in our equipment and want our
customers to enjoy diving with gear that works
- not a model from last decade or some old
torn, colour faded BCD!
We have a large selection of masks available
to suit all face shapes so rest assured you
will not get the 'old leaky mask'. We also
supply open heal Avantix fins to all customers
along with neoprene booties. We wouldn't want
you to get blisters on your day out.
The Learning Materials
You Need
PADI’s Adventures in Diving Manual
and video on DVD provide information on more
than 16 types of specialty diving. You’ll
use them as a guidebook to improve your diving
skills and prepare for new experiences and
adventures.
Curious about night diving? Flip to the night
diving chapter. Once you’ve previewed
the skills, your instructor will guide you
on your first night diving adventure. Having
trouble with underwater navigation? Review
the underwater navigation section then sign
up for the Underwater Navigation Adventure
Dive with your PADI Instructor.
Prerequisites
To take the Adventure Diver course, you must
be
• A PADI Open Water Diver or Junior
Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying
certification from another organization)
• Minimum age: 15 years old (10 years
old for PADI Junior Adventure Diver)
Your Next Adventure
After your PADI Adventure Diver certification
you can take the next step by completing two
more adventure dives. If you've completed
five total adventure dives that include deep
and navigation, you're an PADI Advanced Open
Water Diver
PADI Adventure Dives can also count towards
PADI Specialty Diver certifications. For example,
if you liked your Night Adventure Dive so
much that you wanted to take a complete PADI
Night Diver Specialty course, your Night Adventure
Dive can count as the first dive of that specialty.
