Introduction

Duration: 2 days (5 adventure dives)

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is your ticket to dive deeper and have a lot of fun along the way! By gaining experience of five different types of diving you’ll be able to dive to 30 metres, and you get the card to prove it! When booking the full Advanced Course with us, all five dives are taken over a two-day period.

Course Summary

To certify as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, you must take part in a deep dive and navigation dive, but you can choose the three other dives. Perhaps you want to improve your buoyancy, practice diving in currents, dive on a wreck, learn about fish and corals or even try diving at night – all these, and many more, can be chosen in resort when you talk to your instructor. You should always take some ‘shakedown’ dives before starting any course, to get back into the swing of things, so it’s best to do a day of boat diving, a shore-based check dive or a Scuba Review before your course starts.

How to book

To book the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course, you will need to book a 3 or 5 day dive pack for your chosen resort then add the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course Supplement found in the optional extras section.
