COURSE DETAILS:
Once you finish your Open Water Course, you can start the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course. This program enhances your scuba diving expertise and confidence in various areas, including navigation, deep diving skills, and exciting activities such as night diving and wreck diving. Your PADI instructor will supervise you while you complete five adventure dives, each introducing you to new specialties and taking you to the diverse and unique dives of Isla Mujeres.
First, you must complete your eLearning and participate in 5 Adventure dives.Â
Two of these dives are mandatory.Â
The Deep Adventure Dive will teach you how to plan dives in deeper waters and handle the physiological effects and challenges that come with it. This dive is typically done at one of our spectacular shipwrecks.Â
The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive will refine your compass navigation skills and help you navigate better using natural references, visual landmarks, time, and kick-cycles. This dive takes place in the Manchones National Park.
The other three dives are optional and depend upon the weather, availability, and logistics.
As an aspiring diver, you can acquire diverse knowledge and skills based on your interests and experiences. These may include Fish ID, Drift, Night, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Photography, Enriched Air, Wreck, and more. If these options are unsuitable, you can always talk to your instructor to explore other possibilities.
It's worth noting that completing an adventure dive as part of your PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course counts as the first dive towards achieving the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver certification.
