You should complete an Advanced Open Water Diver Course if you want to elevate your diving skills. This course will improve buoyancy, navigation, deep diving, and other skills. It also includes three specialty divers of your choice. When you complete the course, you'll be eligible for specialty certifications.
Adventure dives
It is essential to take adventure dives in order to be a certified scuba diver. They improve your buoyancy and awareness, as well as your communication skills. You must have completed at least 5 dives to be certified. Your instructor will help improve your breathing and kick techniques as well teach you how you can plan your dives.
Adventure dives are the first dives in each specialty course, and they count towards the specialty you are working towards. By doing this, you can choose dives which will prove useful for the future. PADI recommends that divers have a variety of objectives. They can be deep exploration or wildlife exploration.
Night dive
Advanced Open Water Divers course teaches students how to be safer underwater. They learn how they can breathe correctly and how to maintain their body's alignment. They also learn how to use diving lights and communicate with their buddy. The students will have fun practicing their skills in shallow water by playing games.
Night diving can be a great way of discovering new underwater worlds. Night diving offers a different experience to daytime diving, making it more interesting than daytime. Even though night diving is scary, it's not difficult. Your instructor will teach you the correct techniques and help with any difficulties you might face when diving at night.
Underwater naturalist dive
PADI's Underwater Naturalist course is designed to teach students how to interact in the aquatic ecosystem. Students learn about basic organism groupings and identification, how these species live in different habitats and how to practice environmentally-friendly diving. They learn about the importance conservation of biodiversity and marine conservation.
The PADI Underwater Naturalist course is for divers who have completed their PADI Open Diver certification and would like to explore the marine environment in a more scientific way. The course covers coral reefs, marine organisms and food chains as well as the relationships between different species. It lasts for one full day and involves two open water diving.
Peak performance buoyancy dive
One of the most important skills to learn when diving is how to stay buoyant. Being buoyant is essential as falling into the water can result in decompression illness. Poor buoyancy control can increase your risk of injury from marine life or sharp rocks. This specialty, the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty, is designed to assist divers in developing proper buoyancy control and avoiding these problems.
The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty is a one-week class that includes classroom and pool sessions, as well as two optional open water dives. The course teaches students to control buoyancy and aids them in moving through the water with ease. Ultimately, this PPB program is about making diving easier, more fun, and more efficient.
Maximum depth at 30m/100ft
In the PADI Advanced Open Water course, you will learn the skills needed to dive to a depth of 100 feet. It is dangerous to dive deeper than 100 feet. You could experience impaired cognitive function and nitrogen narcosis. This depth is also dangerous for making mistakes that can prove to be fatal. This is why you shouldn't go deeper than that without proper training.
Most Advanced Open Water courses can be completed within one to two days. The instructor will decide the course's duration. You can choose to take the course on-line or at your local beach. It is important to have instructor training in advance of taking the course.
