Advanced diving
This is where continuing your diving education helps you get more out of diving by introducing you to new types of diving adventures to increase your confidence in the water and enjoy what the underwater world has to offer to you. The following is a list of PADI courses we offer beyond entry level certification:
|
PADI Adventure Diver
|
The Adventures in Diving programme 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 Deep Adventure Dive, Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive and three Adventure Dives for a total of five, you can earn your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
Why PADI Adventure Diver?
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 comfortable in the water, strengthening your underwater skills and letting you enjoy diving more than ever.
What do I need to start?
What will I do?
This certification includes three of the following Adventure Dives:
How long will it take?
- Recommended Course Hours: nine
- Maximum Open Water Training: three dives over one day
Where can I go from here?
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 a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver.
PADI Adventure Dives can also count towards PADI Speciality Diver certifications. If you liked your Night Adventure Dive so much that you wanted to take a complete PADI Night Diver Speciality course, your Night Adventure Dive can count as the first dive of that speciality.

PADI Rescue Diver

Why PADI Rescue Diver?
Rewarding and fun - that best describes the PADI Rescue Diver course. This course will expand your knowledge and experience level. Rescue divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is serious, it is an enjoyable way to build your confidence.
What do I need to start?
You can enroll in the Rescue Diver Course as a certified Open Water Diver (or have a qualifying certification from another training organization) and participate in the Rescue Diver knowledge development and rescue training sessions, in confined water only, while working on your Advanced Open Water Diver certification. To participate in the rescue training sessions in open water, and to participate in the open water rescue scenarios, you must be certified as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or equivalent.
You must also have successfully completed a sanctioned CPR programme within the past 24 months. The Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid) courses meet these requirements.
What will I do?
Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. During the five open water sessions, you'll cover:
- Self-rescue and diver stress
- AED and emergency oxygen delivery systems
- Diver first aid
- Swimming and non-swimming rescue techniques
- Emergency management and equipment
- Panicked diver response
- Underwater problems
- Missing diver procedures
- Surfacing the unconscious diver
- In-water rescue breathing protocols
- Egress (exits)
- First aid procedures for pressure related accidents
- Dive accident scenarios
Where can I go from here?
The PADI Rescue Diver certification is a prerequisite for all Professional level PADI courses, beginning with the PADI Divemaster certification. Enroll in a PADI Rescue Diver course and prepare yourself to Go Pro.
