The PADI Adventure Diver Course

The PADIAdventure 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 Vision Divers PADI Instructor to build your scuba diving skills and gain more confidence.

The Fun Part

Have you always wanted to try digital underwater photography? How about wreck diving? Here's your chance! Vision Divers will guide you through three adventure dives, giving you a taste of some of the many specialty courses that PADI has to offer.  These adventure dives can help you 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 PADI Master Scuba Diver.

What You Learn

Your Adventure Diver course will include the PADI Deep Diver and PADI Underwater Navigator dives as well as one additional dive.  The third dive will be one of the following:

• PADI Drift Diver
• PADI Night Diver
• PADI Search and Recovery Diver
• PADI Wreck Diver
• AWARE-Fish Identification
• PADI Boat Diver
• PADI Digital Underwater Photography
• PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy

The Scuba Gear You Use

You will need basic scuba gear to complete this course. If you don’t own your equipment, you can hire this from us at Vision Divers for an additional fee. 

If you don’t already have them, you will need to buy the following items of equipment prior to or at the beginning of your course:

• Surface Marker Buoy (SMB)
• Underwater compass
• Diving knife

If you are completing the PADI Night Diver dive, you will also need to buy an underwater torch.

The Learning Materials You Need

You can complete the theory component of the PADI Adventure Diver course using eLearning. 

Alternatively, PADI’sAdventures in Diving Manual provides information on more than 16 types of specialty diving. You will need to contact us at Vision Divers to arrange for a manual to be ordered for you, prior to commencing your course.

Prerequisites

To take the Adventure Diver course, you must be

• A PADI Open Water Diver or PADI Junior Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another organization)
• Minimum age: 15 years old (10 years old for PADI Junior Adventure Diver)

Your Next Adventure

After your PADIAdventure Diver certification you can take the next step by completing two more adventure dives with us at Vision Divers. If you've completed five total adventure dives that include deep and navigation, you're a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver

PADIAdventure 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.
