Short on time? PADI® Adventure Diver Course is for you!
1 day min. | 3 Adventures Dives
No Time to get Advanced Open Water Certified?
If you already have a PADI Open Water certification and want to learn more about scuba diving but are short on time, the PADI Adventure Diver Course is an excellent option.
The PADI Adventure Diver Course is a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver subgroup and can be done in just one day!
Many divers wish to participate in training that allows them to dive to a depth of 30 meters. While this is possible with the Deep Adventure Dive, it won't be registered online. So the rating is void if you lose your Adventure Dive certificate.
However, any dive center worldwide can check from the PADI database that you are a certified Adventure Diver. Additionally, exploring different diving styles under an instructor's supervision will help you feel more confident and comfortable underwater.
During this course, you will mostly be diving! Complete three adventure dives with the possibility of trying some of diving's most rewarding and valuable specialty activities.

Let's go for Three exciting Adventure Dives!
Fine-tune your observation skills and learn to use your compass underwater.
This dive extends your limits to 30 meters depth, teaches you additional safety requirements and how to plan for deep dives, and will open up more dive sites worldwide as you increase your diver training level.
The essential skill for any confident scuba diver is buoyancy. Improving your buoyancy will give you more control and improve your air consumption.
Learn how to streamline yourself and your equipment, use your lungs more to control descents, adjust your trim, and focus on swimming, body position, and hovering.
Night Adventure Dive
Learn how to communicate at night and handle a dive torch, as well as entry and exit techniques. You will also learn to navigate a reciprocal heading, a skill you have mastered during the Underwater Navigation dive, but this time you will do it in the dark!
Explore the Ocean at night with lots of new cool stuff to spot, including the extraordinary natural phenomenon: Bioluminescence.
Experience the excitement of diving into a shipwreck. Learn how to safety plan and execute a wreck dive deeper than 18 meters on the HTMS Sattakut.
Learn more about underwater life, symbioses between species, underwater ecology, aquatic plants, and animal habitats.
Learn how to identify fish, their family groups, and specific species.
We will also spend time discussing and practicing responsible dive practices to avoid adverse effects on the underwater environment.
This dive teaches you specific knowledge about diving off boats, including terminology, typical exit and entry points, and techniques for correctly deploying a surface marker buoy.
Your Instructor will teach you how to shoot still and understand the basics of exposure, focus, and composition.
Learn how to use a lift bag, bring an item to the surface, tie various knots, and perform an underwater search.
Knowing when and how to administer Oxygen is a valuable skill in a diving emergency. During this course, you will learn to recognize different injuries and illnesses necessitating Oxygen administration.

Every Adventure Dive can credit toward the first dive of the related PADI Specialty Diver Course. If you have already taken a specialty diver course, ask your instructor if you have earned credit for an Adventure Dive.

IMPORTANT! -Flying after Diving
When planning your diving trip and your journey toward your destinations, always remember that you must not fly directly after scuba diving. It accentuates the risk of having decompression sickness.
The PADI guidelines are to NOT FLY during a 12 hours interval after a single dive and 18 hours after multiple dives. As often when it comes to scuba diving, take a conservative approach to safety, and whenever possible, avoid flying the next 24 hours after a dive.
If you intend to do multiple dives on different days during your trip, consider buying your own dive computer, as it will calculate the optimal time to fly based on your diving history.
Even more than other outdoor sports, diving is weather- and sea-dependent. Be aware that some sites might be inaccessible on certain days and that diving trips might be canceled due to dangerous conditions.
Luckily, Thailand has a fantastic climate almost all year round and this happens very rarely.
