Advanced Open Water and Specialties:

After completing the Open Water Course, you may choose to further your diving education.  The next logical step is the Advanced Course, the Adventure Diver.  The Advanced Course is a compilation of 5 dives including a Deep Dive and a Navigation Dive plus 5 electives.  Adventure Diver is 3 elective dives.  If you would rather focus on a specific elective dive you may choose to do a specialty course which is either 2,3, or 4 dives in any one elective field.

Please see the list of electives below as well as a flow chart on the progression of courses In PADI vs SSI and NAUI.
