The practical part of the Advanced Open Water diving course consists of a total of 5 adventure dives in the sea (specialties).

Of these 5 specialties, 2 are mandatory, being the pillars of advanced diving. They are the following:

• Underwater Navigation Specialty: You will perform a dive where you will learn to use the compass and orient yourself underwater, plotting courses, and controlling buoyancy.

The remaining 3 specialties of the Advanced Open Water diving course will be freely chosen. The range is very wide, and the offer of these specialties will depend on the center where they are going to be carried out. The most popular among divers are:

• Nitrox

• Buoyancy

During the specialties, the theoretical concepts will be reinforced, and the knowledge of the chosen adventure dives will be reviewed.
