PADI Advanced Open Water Course
Exploration, Excitement and Experiences. That's what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about, and you don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed so you can go straight into it after the PADI Open Water Diver course.
The Advanced course helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your DM Scuba Instructor. This course builds on what you’ve learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun scuba diving.
You’ll hone your skills by completing five adventure dives. To qualify as an Advanced Open Water Diver you will complete Adventure Dives in: -
• Underwater Navigation
• Deep Diving (18-30 metres)
• Plus 3 more Adventure Dives! (Normally, Wreck, Boat, PPB, SMB/DSMB or Dry Suit)
