Description

No exams, no pool sessions, no lectures ... just 5 awesome dives in Cape Town!! The PADI Advanced Open Water diving course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives, so you can start right after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification. When you enrol on the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course your required adventure dives are the 1) Underwater Navigation dive and 2) Deep adventure dive. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive refines your compass navigation skills and helps you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time. The other three adventure dives can be chosen from the following list which are suitable for Cape Town waters: Digital Underwater Photographer, Peak Performance Buoyancy (highly recommended), Boat Diver, Wreck Diver, Search & Recovery, Multilevel Diver, AWARE-Fish Identification. Each Adventure Dive may credit towards the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver Course.
