For young adventurers aged 12 and up, the PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver Course is the ideal path to take their diving skills to the next level. This course not only enhances their comfort underwater but also deepens their knowledge of diving techniques. Once they reach 15 years of age, their PADI Junior Advanced Open Water certification automatically upgrades to the prestigious PADI Advanced Open Water certification.

To complete the program, your child will need to complete five Adventure Dives. 

Two of these are mandatory: 

The Underwater Navigation Dive, which helps them master underwater orientation, and the Deep Dive, which opens the door to depths of up to 21 meters until the age of 15. 

Additionally, they will conduct three more adventure dives, where they can choose from various options, including night diving, naturalist diving, peak performance buoyancy, search and recovery diving and fish identification.

The course is led by an experienced PADI instructor who will accompany your child on all dives, providing guidance and instruction to deepen their knowledge and diving skills.

PADI eLearning offers a convenient and flexible way to complete the theoretical part of the dive course from the comfort of their home. It allows them to learn at their own pace and prepare for the practical aspects of the dive training.
