Can I also make PADI Enriched Air Dives in this course?

Two of your dives can also be combined with the Enriched Air Nitrox Course which will build your confidence as you extend your bottom time. By diving with enriched air rather than standard air you can extend your no decompression limits. This means more time underwater.

Where can I go from here?

The PADI Advanced Openwater Certification will allow you to participate in more advanced diving activities with a maximum recommended depth limit of 30 meters and continue on to the PADI Rescue Diver course.

Each PADI Adventure Dives can also credit towards the first Dive of corresponding PADI Specialty Diver certifications.
