Move up and experience real adventure with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course. As you step beyond the PADI Open Water Diver level, you make 5 dives and have the opportunity to try some of diving's most rewarding and useful specialty activities, such as deep diving, digital underwater photography, wreck diving and much more. These skills make diving much more than underwater sight-seeing. Plus, the Advanced Open Water Diver course takes you one more step closer to the Master Scuba Diver rating - which is the ultimate non professional certification in recreational diving.

With your PADI Instructor you will complete the PADI Deep and Navigation Adventure dives. Then you will choose three additional dives from more than 15 Adventure dives to complete your course. You can go diving at night, check out the local wrecks in the area, or fly through the water using a diver propulsion vehicle - all during your PADI Advanced Open Water course.

Pre-requisites: Must be a PADI Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another training organisation) and 15 years old (12 for Junior Advanced Open Water Diver).

How long will it take: The Advanced Open Water Diver course is completed by participating in 5 dives over 2 days.

What will I do: This course consists of 5 Adventure dives which include the Deep and Navigation Adventure dives. You will then choose 3 from the following list:

  • Boat Diver
  • Deep Diver
  • Diver Propulsion Vehicle
  • Drift Diver
  • Drysuit Diver

  • Night Diver
  • Peak Performance Buoyancy
