This course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives.
You try out different specialities while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. There are two required dives – Deep and Underwater Navigation – and you choose the other three, for a total of five dives. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive refines your compass navigation skills and helps you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time. The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have – photography, buoyancy control, fish identification, search and recovery and many more.
The typical outline itinerary is as follows:
Pre-study Session
As with all PADI Courses, there is some pre-study. However, with PADI eLearning it is relatively painless and super quick :-)
Day 1
You will meet our Dive crew at 8:45 am at Jesselton Point Jetty in central Kota Kinabalu. Today you will complete two of your five PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course dives in our local marine park, with lunch on a tropical island. Depending upon your understanding of the academic side of things more reviews and learning may take place over lunch. After your afternoon dive, you'll be transferred back to Jesselton Jetty arriving ~ 16:00hrs.
Day 2
Today will be a bit more exciting as you will complete three-course dives - two dives before lunch and one after. After your afternoon dive, you'll be transferred back to Jesselton Jetty arriving ~ 16:00hrs.
