Ships, airplanes and even cars are fascinating to explore and usually teem with aquatic life. Each wreck dive offers a chance for discovery, potentially unlocking a mystery or spying something others have missed. The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course is popular because it offers rewarding adventures while observing responsible wreck diving practices.Prerequisites

The lure of the deep. There’s something exciting and mysterious about exploring deeper dive sites while scuba diving. Sometimes it’s a wreck that attracts you below 18 metres/60 feet, and on wall dives it may be a giant fan or sponge. Whatever it is, to scuba dive with confidence at depths down to 40 metres/130 feet, you should take the PADI Deep Diver Specialty course.Prerequisites
- PADI Adventure Diver
- 15 years old

Having scuba tanks on your back isn’t a requirement for exploring the underwater world. Many scuba divers have discovered the joy of mounting cylinders on their sides. Sidemount diving gives you flexibility and streamlining options. Plus, you don’t have to walk with heavy cylinders on your back – just enter the water, clip them on and go. Sound interesting?

Exploration, Excitement, Experiences……….. You don’t have to be “advanced” – it’s designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. The Advanced Open Water course is the next step to further your education and experience, as well as increasing your depth limit to 30 meters. It takes 2 days and there are 5 dives. You will do a Deep Dive and a Navigation Dive, as well as 3 dives of your choice. The most popular adventure dives here, are peak performance buoyancy, wreck, naturalist, night (additional 55 AED for night dive) and many more. You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. Get credit! Each Adventure Dive may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver Course. If you’ve already taken a specialty diver course, ask your instructor if you’ve earned credit for an Adventure Dive. If you’re already an Adventure Diver, you only need to complete two more Adventure Dives to earn the Advanced Open Water Diver certification. You can also combine the Nitrox Course specialty together with your Advanced Open Water diver course at a special price of 475 AED including manual and certification fees (course must be completed at the same time of the AOWC).
