PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course

Why take the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course?

This advanced-level certification provides a lifetime license to dive independently of a professional, anywhere in the world, to a maximum depth of 30 meters/100 feet. After your five adventure dives, you'll be more experienced, feel more comfortable in the water and simply enjoy diving more because you better understand the underwater environment. The course is designed to improve your diving skills well beyond open-water level.

Unlike the Open Water course, which focuses on basic skills and diving techniques, the Advanced course comprises five Adventure Dives, such as Deep, Navigation, Wreck, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Digital Photography ($20 extra), Underwater Naturalist, Night, Multi-Level and many more. 

The Advanced Open Water course can be integrated with the  Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN) Specialty.  EAN is a great tool to help you enjoy longer dives at depth. Enriched Air makes this possible because it contains less nitrogen and a higher percentage of oxygen than normal air. This means that you absorb less nitrogen as you dive, giving you longer no-decompression limits - you get to dive deeper for longer!
