Recreational Avelo Diver (RAD) Course

Course components

What's included

Course sessions with online student materials and Avelo system rental

Online theory session (1-2 hours)

Our course builds on concepts you are familiar with from your open water theory and expands on topics that are relevant to Avelo and apply to divers at any level.

When completed, choose any of our dive centers to complete your water session. From the moment you successfully complete the theory session, you will have 90 days to complete the in water component. You can extend the 90 day limit by retaking the quizzes to make sure you are still familiar with all Avelo concepts.

In-water session (2 dives)

Complete two dives with an Avelo-certified instructor where you will practice the skills necessary to dive with the Avelo system safely. Your instructor will complete the certification process once all standards are met.

Earn your certification

Once you complete your course, you’ll receive a digital certification that you can save to your phone or link to anywhere in the world.

Any Avelo Dive Center will be able to find your certification. Avelo will continue to become available in more destinations. Find an Avelo Dive Center.
