PADI Advenced Open Water
Improve you skills and Become more confident
The PADI Advanced Open Water Course is designed to improve the skills that you learn in the PADI Open Water course. To be certified as an Advanced Open water diver, you must complete five dives known as '"Adventure dives". Two of the dives are a deep dive with a maximum depth of 30 meters and the second dive, a Navigation dive, where you will learn just some of the techniques you can use to navigate around the dive site. The subsequent three dives are your choice. The Advanced Open water course is usually where divers first experience their first-night dive, allowing you to see your favourite dive sites at night, see the differences, and learn the different procedures for night diving. You could explore a historic wreck with a wreck dive or perfect your buoyancy control with a peek performance buoyancy dive.
With all of the Advanced Open Water Dives, you get credit to the corresponding Speciality diver course, as each dive you do is the first dive of the speciality.
