In general, these are the parts of your training. But we can always adjust the exact schedule and split it up in several halfdays, if that fits in with other activities you may want to enjoy whilst on Koh Tao:

Part 1: Theory / Land Practice
The theoretical part of the PADI Adventure Diver course is very easy. There are no videos to watch, it is based on getting into knowledge of the dives of your choice.
You will receive your own PADI Advanced Open Water E-Manual (as this is a subcourse of it) which contains chapters for each of the existing adventure dives worldwide.
Out of these you will choose 3 dives as your Adventure dives and work through these chapters in self-study, answering the Knowledge Reviews for those. There is also a section called “Thinking like a diver” which will make you more aware about the basics and safety you learned in previous courses and what awaits you on your dives.
For some dives like Navigation, Search & Recovery or Rescue, there may be a little land practice before you go on the boat to make it easier for you to plan the tasks on the dives at hand.
There is no exam at the end of this course, you will pass the theory once you reviewed the Knowledge Reviews with your instructor.
Part 2: 3 Adventure Dives
We always try to adjust your schedule depending on the divesites chosen for the day as well as comfort and experience level.
In general, some of the dives like Navigation or Buoyancy Control Diving ask for slightly shallower sites. The Deep Dive or some other dives that are naturally deeper (like our favourite Wreck Dive) call for other dive sites, which we can adjust for by taking you on one of our three custom build dive boats.
Depending on your choice of dives you may be joining our night dive trip as well or take a third dive on your trip.
