PADI Adventure Diver 1 Day

Fancy doing a little bit more diver education on top of your existing PADI Open Water Diver Certification? Then why not consider doing the PADI Adventure Diver Course with the number #1 Dive Centre in Menorca – S’Algar Diving?

Already a PADI Open Water Diver or similar, would like to learn more, but don´t  have the time for a full PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course? Are you 10 or 11 years of age, and just can´t wait to do the next course? Then you may consider doing a PADI Adventure Diver Course. This great little program can take as little as 1 day to complete or can be spread over three days – whatever you prefer. The main difference between the Adventure Diver and the Advanced Open Water Diver is the number of dives required to gain this certification. Adventure Diver Course consists of 3 dives, the Advanced Open Water Course takes 5 dives to complete.

The Adventures in Diving and the Advanced Open Water diver programs/courses are there to give you a taster of what might interest you in the future. Each dive on these courses represents the first dive on the associated PADI Speciality. Pardon? OK, the Boat Diver Speciality has two dives in the course but if you chose Boat Diver as one of your dives for your PADI Adventure Diver Course then we complete just the first dive. So, if you were to complete the second dive at a later point, you could be awarded a PADI Boat Dive Speciality.
