PADI Advanced Openwater Diver - TWO Specialities

PADI Advanced Open Water - TWO Specialities completed with Dive Rutland

Offer to those who have completed Two Specialities with us here at Dive Rutland

For those of you who have completed two full specialties with us here at Dive Rutland then you can choose not to complete a Five specialty Advanced Open water course because we can credit the two specialties against two of the five Advanced Open Water dives therefore saving you money.

What Will I Do?

Two of the Adventure dives are mandatory, these are: Deep and Navigation.  After all we are qualifying you to a new depth of 30 metres, so experience that with a professional, learn the additional skills and knowledge to remain safe and then

The navigation dive - but I learnt to use a compass on my Open Water course we hear you say.. Yes you did but not really!

Now you REALLY get to use it, it's not just about being told when to turn around and go back (as per your open water) but you work out when to turn using various techniques you will learn about and you will show mastery by swimming a very large square.   You should always dive with a compass and know where you need to come back to or how to get that location on a dive where the interesting stuff is.

Then with your instructor you will choose the other three adventure dives and some of those available from us here at Dive Rutland are listed below.

Some of the adventure dives we conduct are subject to location and time of year, for example we can conduct a drift dive when we are on a trip. 

Please chat with us about your choices and we can advise accordingly!  As we can work with you to make future training more cost effective i.e. Wreck Diver is a four dive speciality but do the adventure dive and it becomes a three dive speciality, saving you a few pennies, and there are a few other options similar to this.
