PADI Advanced Diver

The PADI Adventure and Advanced Open Water Certifications are the natural progression after completing the PADI Open Water Course and both available in Cape Town, South Africa at times that suit you. After your five dives that you completed on the Open Water course you will be more experienced, feel more comfortable in the water and simply enjoy diving more because you have a better understanding of the underwater environment. You will feel like you need to progress beyond the very basics and the Advanced Open Water course is the answer.


The Adventures in Diving program 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.


The Adventure Dives can be any three of the following:


  • Altitude Diver
  • Boat Diver
  • Drift Diver
  • Deep Diver
  • Dry Suit Diver
  • Dive Propulsion Vehicle
  • Multilevel Diver
  • Night Diver
  • Peak Performance Buoyancy
  • Search and Recovery
  • Underwater Naturalist
  • Underwater Videographer
  • Underwater Photographer

We offer all of these advanced scuba diving courses in Cape Town, Western Cape South Africa.
