5 Fun Dives. 5 Different Dive Themes. No Test

The best way for Certified divers to gain experience is to do so under supervision in the PADI Adventures in Diving program. By completing this course you will receive your Advanced Certification, required for many diving activities like wreck diving, etc.. Commonly completed over just one weekend, you will make 5 dives, each having a different theme, such as: Night Diving, Underwater Navigation, Deep Diving, Altitude Diving, Wreck Diving, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Underwater Photography, and much more. Because of their great importance to your enjoyment and safety, Underwater Navigation, and Deep Diving (greater than 60 feet), are required as 2 out of the 5 dives. The theme of the remaining 3 dives is optional, but mostly determined by location.

The entire course is just so fun - you read up on each of the 5 different dives, hear a pre-dive explanation from your Instructor about what is involved with each dive, make each dive, and then have a de-briefing conversation after each dive on what you experienced.
