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

  • Search and Recovery Adventure Dive

  • Underwater Naturalist 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.
