The PADI Junior Adventure and Advanced Open Water Certifications are the natural progression after completing the PADI Open Water Course. These courses are usually combined and run over 2 days, consisting of 5 Adventure dives from the list below, of which one must be the Deep dive and one must be the Navigation dive. There are no classroom or pool sessions except for the Dry Suit dive which requires one pool session.

Our courses are normally conducted at Leybourne Lake near Larkfield and or Stoney Cove (The National Diving Centre) in Leicester. We also run advanced courses during our dive trips around the UK at both inland and coastal dive sites when logistically possible and dive conditions are favorable. These courses are run by our highly experienced instructors and are run regularly throughout the year, on most days of the week but we recommend weekdays, as our training lakes are less busy then.

On completion of this exciting course you will be awarded with the PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification, which allows you to dive to a depth of 22 metres.

Deep Dive - Experience a dive to 22 meters, learn the effects of depth, both physical and physiologically.

Underwater Navigation Learn more about underwater navigation and the use of an underwater compass.

*Elective dives are subject to logistics and environment.

Upon signing up for your course and paying your deposit you will be issued with your crew pack, this includes the course manual and your advanced diving education log book insert record sheets. Once you have this you can begin the all important task of independent home study by reading each chapter and completing the quizzes and knowledge reviews in each. Although each chapter details a specific aspect or type of dive it is important to read them all to understand and appreciate all the skills adventure and advanced diving require.

Day 1:

You should arrive at the Simply Scuba about 09:15 am, unless otherwise specified by your instructor, to select and assemble your dive equipment for the course, and to complete any outstanding registration paperwork, etc. After all the equipment is assembled and loaded everyone makes their way to the appointed dive site for the day. Please remember you are responsible for your own transportation to and from Simply Scuba and the dive site. Upon arrival at the dive site a site safety and orientation briefing will be given. You will then assist in readying the dive equipment for the days diving. On day 1 you will complete up to three of your course dives, dependant upon the site logistics and conditions, this is purely at the discretion of the dive supervisor. Before each dive a dive briefing will be given by the instructor. After completing the days diving, you will assist in loading the dive equipment. This will be followed by completing your log book with the days activities and signing your training record sheets for those dives completed.

Day 2:

Travel from the either the dive centre or overnight accommodation to the dive site. Everyone helps unload and prepare equipment ready for the days diving, prior to the site and pre-dive briefing. You will complete the remaining dives of your course, assuming that you meet all standards required. At the end of the days diving, the van is loaded and everyone returns to Simply Scuba dive centre where they assist in washing down and storing the dive equipment, final course paperwork is then completed, log books, training record sheets and Certification application forms completed, (PIC Cards).

Like all training courses where certain levels of performance are required to pass it is important to realize that you must reach the required levels of proficiency for each aspect of the course in order for the instructor to certify you, (just like on a driving test). If you fail to achieve the required standards we will endeavour to give you the opportunity for further training, however this would incur additional cost.

Participants under 16 years must be accompanied on the course by a parent or legal guardian.

All participants are responsible for their own transportation arrangements between the dive centre and either the pool or the respective dive sites used during this course.
