Advanced Open Water
Ready to take the next step in your dive education?
The PADI Advanced Open Water Course builds on the skills you have learned in your Open Water course and is the first step towards mastering your scuba diving skills and extending your limits. The course consists of 5 dives over 2 days.
All courses include a Deep Dive (below 18 meters / 60 feet) and a Navigation Dive.
The remaining three dives are location-dependent and cater to each student’s needs and goals; we generally recommend that students elect a dive focusing on buoyancy, a search-and-recovery dive, and a night dive where possible.
*NOTE: eLearning - Must be completed before you can do your dives.
