Adventure Diver - 1 day (Three Dives)

As a qualified Open Water Diver you will have already mastered dive theory and the essential underwater skills. It's now time to explore the underwater world and experience different types of diving to expand your experience.

The PADI Adventures in Diving programme provides divers with a structured means to explore special diving interests and gain dive experience. Participating in an Adventure Dive is often the first step Open Water divers take after their initial course.  However, all divers benefit from the programmes flexibility and the opportunity it provides for discovering exploration.

The programme's design allows you to choose the dives that interest you most and to sample activities under the guidance of our Instructors. Some divers may choose to make only one Adventure Dive, whilst others may want additional recognition by completing a total of three dives to gain the PADI Adventure Diver certification.

There is no swimming pool training or written examinations in this course - you simply complete the Knowledge Reviews for the types of diving that interest you most. As usual, our Frog Squad Instructors will then check your understanding of the material by going through your completed 'Knowledge Reviews'  to ensure that you have fully understood all the theoretical aspects of the course before commencing the training dives in open water.

All training materials (PADI Manual, Continuing Education Dive Log, Dive slates, etc) and full equipment hire are included in the price of the course (£149) - although we do recommend that you purchase your own mask and snorkel (available from Frog Squad).

To enrol on the programme you must be at least 10 years of age.
