PADI Advanced Open Water Diver

Exploration, Excitement, and building Experiences . . .

This is what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about.

Now that you are Open Water certified what comes next? The advance course gives you great insight into five different types of diving, two that are compulsory, and the other three you can pick the type of diving that will interest you most.

All these dives are called Adventure Dives and they are the first Dive of that speciality. For instance, the Deep Dive between 18 meters and 30 meters which is compulsory for the Advance course and will allow you then to dive to 30 meters, is the first dive of the Deep Speciality Course. So, if deep diving interest you, you can then go on and do the full Deep Diving Speciality course which will allow you to dive to a maximum depth of 40 meters.

The other Dive that is Compulsory is Navigation, imagine how much more at ease you will feel if you know where you are under water at all times. The other three dives are your choice we can advise, many people find the Peak Performance Buoyance dive one of the best dives and carry on to get the full certification. Please speak to us and we can book in what is most suitable for you unlike other dive centre’s that do not give you an option.

You can try your hand at digital underwater photography, wreck diving, night diving, diving with underwater scooters, multi-level diving and much more. Get credit! Each Adventure Dive in the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver course.
