SSI Adventurer & PADI Advanced Diver Course & Certificate in Phuket
The SSI Adventurer & PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is in many ways the best Dive Course of all diving courses – there are no theory lessons to attend, no quizzes or a final test to pass. The dive course is an experienced based course – the idea is to give the students divers 5 introduction dives for 5 distinguished dive specialities. The course is done with Merlin Divers dive club over 2 days of diving.
SSI & PADI determined that every Adventurer or Advanced Open Water Diver needs to have the experience of a Deep dive and a Navigation dive.
The additional required 3 dives are up to the student’s interest and preferences. Since there are a few wrecks around Phuket a natural choice is the Wreck dive.
Also, very popular are the following speciality dives: peak performance buoyancy, multilevel diving, underwater photography, fish identification, drift diving, wreck diving, boat diving – just to mention a few.
