Advanced Adventure

The Advanced Adventure course at Orca Diving is the logical next step after the Open Water Diver. It introduces certified divers to a wider range of diving environments and techniques across multiple adventure dives, each covering a different speciality area. The course runs from the Club Nàutic de l'Escala using the Janity and the centre's three operating zones.

The Costa Brava setting is well suited to an advanced course — the area offers sandy bottoms, pinnacles, walls, wrecks and caves within reach of l'Escala. Different adventure dive modules can be matched to the terrain available: a wreck dive on one of the local sites, a deep dive toward the depth limit of the course, a navigation dive on a sandy bottom. The mix depends on which modules are selected and conditions on the day.

Small groups mean the instructor can give real feedback on each dive rather than managing a crowd. The centre's accredited guides also lead the daily guided dives, so the team knows these sites well enough to choose the right conditions for each module. Cressi-Sub rental gear is available for students without their own equipment, and cylinders are filled on the BAHUER compressor on site.

At 380€, the Advanced Adventure extends a certified diver's range both in terms of depth and environment type. It sits alongside the speciality menu — divers who want to focus on a single discipline (wreck, nitrox, dry suit) can go directly to those courses, while the Advanced Adventure is for those who want a broader sampler across multiple areas.
