Adventure Diver
Duration 1 - 1 1/2 days



After your Open Water course, why not embark on a PADI Adventure course and complete some 'Adventure Dives'? With these dives you're over halfway there to completing your PADI Advanced Open Water certification. You can also take part in just 1 or 2 Adventure Dives if you prefer and these will also count towards the Advanced certification.

Have you always wanted to try drift diving? How about underwater photography? Here's your opportunity, because you can sample three dives of your choice out of a long list of possibilities, that way you get...

- a taste of what you like and feel more comfortable with in the water
- the chance to strengthen your underwater skills
- resulting in you enjoying your diving more than ever!


To become a certified PADI Adventure Diver, you will need to have achieved three adventure dives with a PADI certified Assistant/Instructor. These can be completed in as little as just one day. We do ask that you complete 1 day's recreational diving before taking this course to check weights, buoyancy and equipment. Adventure Dives give you a taste of the various specialty courses on offer and can even count as the first dive of that relevant specialty, taking you that little bit closer to becoming a Specialty diver!

Scuba Review
Duration: 1/2 Day



If it's been some time since you last went diving, then Spanish Dancer Divers recommends that you comply with the recommendations made by your training agency regarding the completion of a Scuba/Skills Review before diving. Most agencies recommend a Scuba/Skills Review if you haven't dived for 6 months or longer.

The Scuba Review is a short refresher course including a review of the safety information you learned during your initial training along with a supervised skill session in confined water with your Instructor. They will help you tune up important diving skills such as buoyancy and breath control, equipment assembly and breathing from an alternative air source. You can then take a supervised open water dive to rediscover the beauty of the Indian Ocean. The open water dive will be from the boat or shore.
