The PADI Advanced Open Water Course

Exploration, Excitement and Experiences.

It’s what the Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about.

You don’t have to be “advanced” to take the course, it’s designed so you can go straight into it after the Open Water Diver course.

The Advanced Open Water Diver 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 Instructor.

This course builds on what you’ve previously learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun scuba diving.

You will learn and practice;

  • Deep Dive
  • Underwater Navigation
