One of those must be a deep dive, which qualifies you to dive to 30 meters, another must be a navigation training dive, and another is a dive which concentrates on your buoyancy skills (if you are a RAID OW20 diver then this will feel more like a check dive!). The other two dives are Elective Dives that you can choose with a little discussion with you instructor and dive team.
