The
Adventures in Diving program offers both the Adventure Diver and Advanced
Open Water Diver certifications. If you complete any three adventure
dives, you can earn your PADI Adventure Diver certification. If you
complete your Deep Adventure Dive, Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive
and three Adventure Dives for a total of five, you can earn your Advanced
Open Water Diver certification.
