Specialty course helps you get more out of diving by introducing you to new types of scuba diving specialties. It's a great opportunity to work with your instructor to build your scuba diving skills and gain more confidence.
The Fun Part
Have you always wanted to try digital underwater photography? How about wreck diving? Here's your chance because you can sample three dives of your choice, get a taste of what you like, and feel more at ease in the water, strengthening your underwater skills and letting you enjoy scuba diving more than ever. Get credit! Each Adventure Dive may be credited toward the first dive of the corresponding Specialty course. This means you can be well on your path to becoming a Master Scuba Diver.

Prerequisites
To take the Adventure Diver course, you must be:
- An Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization)
- 10 years old (Age 10-14 earn Junior Adventure Diver)
Your Next Adventure
After your Adventure Diver certification, you can take the next step by completing two more adventure dives. If you've completed five total adventure dives that include deep and navigation, you're an Advanced Open Water Diver.
Adventure Dives can also count towards Specialty Diver certifications. For example, if you liked your Night Adventure Dive so much that you wanted to take a complete Night Diver Specialty course, your Night Adventure Dive can count as the first dive of that specialty.
