PADI Advanced Open Water
Here's your chance to sample some of diving's most popular specialties and expand your diving skills!
The program's core dives are underwater navigation, and deep diving. Additional elective dives might include boat diving, drift diving, multilevel diving, night diving, underwater photography, wreck diving or other specialty activities. We don't choose the three extra dives, you do.
The Advanced course knowledge reviews should be completed before the dives with the course taking no more than three months to complete.
Upon completion the diver's depth rating is increased to 30m.
Why Advanced Open Water Diver?
After your five dives, you'll be more experienced, feel more comfortable in the water and simply enjoy diving more because you better understand the underwater environment
