Extend your depth limit to 30 metres / 100 feet
The course includes the required Deep Dive and prepares certified divers to increase their depth limit to 30 metres / 100 feet, expanding where and how you can explore underwater environments.
Sharpen underwater navigation and buoyancy
With an Underwater Navigation dive among the required adventures, the program emphasizes compass skills and buoyancy control to make every subsequent dive safer and more efficient.
Try wreck, night, drift or peak-performance dives
Alongside the two required dives you select three additional adventure dives—based on availability and interest—so you can sample new types of diving and discover what excites you most.
What the day feels like
What the two-day course feels like
Over two days you complete five adventure dives under instructor supervision: the required Deep Dive and Underwater Navigation Dive plus three electives chosen for interest and availability. Knowledge development is minimal and tied directly to each dive, so most learning happens hands-on in open water as instructors focus on practical skill improvement and building confidence.
