Return to I’m A Diver

Adventure Diver Course

Duration: 1 day or 3 dives.
Course Price: $239.00
Prerequisites: Open Water Scuba certification.

Let’s try something different.

The Adventure Diver course is a subset of the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course. Have you seen other divers use full face masks or locate and lift a lost object from the water? Do you want to try it? You can take part in this program in three dives in one day. Complete three Adventure Dives and you earn the Adventure Diver certification. It’s a great opportunity to work with your instructor to build your scuba skills and gain more confidence. Get a taste of what you like and enjoy scuba diving more than ever.

Get credit! Each Adventure Dive may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver Course. If you’ve already taken a specialty diver course, ask your instructor if you’ve earned credit for an Adventure Dive.

PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 10 years old and want to take the next step should enroll in an Adventure Diver course. Young divers may only participate in certain Adventures Dives – check with your PADI Instructor.

What will you learn?

You can choose what you’re most interested in learning. Need to work on your buoyancy skills? Try the Peak Performance Buoyancy Adventure Dive. Want to know how to retrieve that lost boat motor? Try the Search and Recovery Adventure Dives. You’ll plan your path with your instructor, go over what you need to know and dive in quickly.

How can you start learning now?

Contact Dakota Scuba to get your Adventures in Diving manual and watch the Adventures in Diving video. Your PADI Instructor will meet with you to schedule knowledge review sessions along with your Adventure Dives.

What scuba gear will you use?

Beyond using basic scuba equipment, you’ll learn to use specialized gear depending on the Adventure Dives you choose. For example you will need a Compass for the Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive or a reel for the Search and Recovery Adventure Dive. Your PADI Instructor will explain the equipment that you need and may suggest additional gear, such as a dive light for night diving or a lift bag for search and recovery diving.
