Overview
Build your scuba skills and gain more confidence.
The Adventure Diver course is a subset of the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course. Have you always wanted to try digital underwater photography, wreck diving, or deep diving? There’s a long list of scuba adventures you can take part in during this program. 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.

To enrol in a PADI Adventure Diver course you must hold a PADI Open Water certification (Junior or Adult).
To complete the academic studies through the eLearning product, we estimate 5 hours of independent study.
The duration of the three course options ranges between 1 and 2 days. A full day is 8 hours on average.
All diving equipment for your course is supplied by ABC Diving including dive computer.
The total, fully inclusive cost of the PADI Adventure Diver Course starts at €280.00 with our ‘budget’ option. Our ‘Standard’ option is €320.00 and our ‘Bespoke’ option is €670.00.
THE LEARNING PATH
Choose between:
- Digital Underwater Imaging
- Peak Performance Buoyancy
- Search and Recovery
- Underwater Naturalist
- Wreck
- Fish Identification
- Deep
- Underwater Navigation
- Descent – A detailed look into your body position during the first stages of descent.
- Buddies execute a five-point descent. Concentrate on descending slowly and neutralising your buoyancy as needed during descent.
- Bubble check and acclimatisation below the surface (3-6 metres/10-20 feet recommended).
- Adjust for neutral buoyancy at depth determined by instructor.
- Demonstrate efficient fin kicks, using long, slow strokes and gliding after each kick.
- An introduction to the frog kick.
- Manoeuvre close to a non-living portion of the bottom (rock, sand, etc.) without touching it and then back away using neutral buoyancy with hand or fin sculling.
The knowledge that you learn varies with the adventure dives you have chosen – photography, buoyancy control, fish identification, exploring wrecks and many more.
For example, during the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving.
