Advanced Open Water Diver Course
If you already have a PADI Open Water certification (or qualifying certification from another organization), the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course will sharpen your diving skills to become a well-rounded diver, extending also your depth limits to 30 m/ 100 ft.
​
The course takes 2 days, it consists on a knowledge development and 5 adventure dives, including the mandatory Deep and Underwater Navigation. You can choose the remaining 3 from following list:​
​
-
Boat Adventure Dive
-
Delayed Surface Marker Buoy Adventure Dive
-
Drift Adventure Dive
-
Enriched Air
-
Fish ID Adventure Dive
-
Peak Performance Buoyancy Adventure Dive
-

​
Optional
Change one of the non mandatory adventure dives for 'Enriched Air Specialty' and get your PADI Nitrox Specialty certification (the adventure dive 'Nitrox' doesn't certify you as a Nitrox Specialist). The PADI Nitrox Specialty allows you to use Enriched Air tanks. You will go through a theory review, learn how to use an oxygen air analyzer and how to set up your computer to use Nitrox.
