PADI Adventure Program Plus - £495

Not just an Advanced Open Water qualification. Our program combines the AOW course with the nitrox course and a specialty in Peak Performance Buoyancy (if you wear a wetsuit) or Drysuit diving. We will also cover use of reels and DSMBs (Delayed Surface Marker Buoys - essential for diving in the sea in the UK and many other locations). By the end of the course you will have completed 3 extra dives, gained loads of extra confidence and experience and have all the skills and knowledge you need to be a truly independent diver.

Day 1 - Local dive site near Egham - Max depth 12m

Dive 1 - PPB/Drysuit Dive - The first dive will concentrate on orientating you to new equipment, fine tuning weighting, practising buoyancy skills and basic dive skills

Dive 2 - PPB/Drysuit Dive - By now you will be feeling comfortable and can start to fine tune your buoyancy control, body position and fining technique

Day 2 - Local dive site near Egham - Max depth 12m

Dive 3 - Underwater Navigation - Navigation is an essential but often overlooked skill. Mastering compass and natural navigation techniques contributes to the safety and enjoyment of all your dives.

Dive 4 - Search and Recovery - A fun dive using reels and compasses to search for "lost" objects then sending them to the surface with lift bags.

Day 3 - Stoney Cove, Leicestershire or NDAC, Chepstow - We will choose the site with the best conditions at the time. Each site is about a 2 hour drive from Egham and we normally stay overnight nearby - Max depth 18m 

Dive 5 - Nitrox Dive - Planning the dive, analysing the gas and executing the dive plan. We will venture into deeper waters and test all the skills you gained on the first two days!

Dive 6 - Nitrox Dive and DSMB deployment - Now that you've got the hang of it we will start to practise ascending on an SMB as we do in the sea.

Day 4 - Same site as Day 3. Max depth 30m.

Dive 7 - Deep Dive - Now you're ready for a bit more depth we will do a deeper dive practising the techniques required to safely descend, dive and ascend from greater depths.

Dive 8 - Wreck Dive - The last dive is a fun dive navigating around the outside of a wreck assessing the overall condition and any areas that should be avoided on future dives.

Cost includes - Use of Halcyon Wing style BCD, Balanced Regulator Set including Suunto Nitrox Computer, Wetsuit, Boots, Gloves, Hood and Fins as required. All course manuals, 3 nitrox dive planning tables and 3 certifications worth over £100
