Exploration,
Excitement, Experiences.
They're what the PADI Advanced Open Water
Diver course is all about. And no, you don't
have to be "advanced" to take it - it's designed
so you can go straight into it after the PADI
Open Water Diver course.
The Advanced Open
Water Diver course helps you increase your
confidence and build your scuba skills so
you can become more comfortable in the water.
This is a great way to get more dives under
your belt while continuing to learn under
the supervision of your PADI instructor.
This
course builds on what you've learned and develops
new capabilities by introducing you to new
activities and new ways to have fun scuba
diving.
You'll hone your skills by completing five
adventure dives that introduce you to:
- Underwater navigation
- Deeper water diving (typically anywhere
from 18-30 metres/ 60-100 feet)
- A sampler of three more Adventure Dives
of your choice
| The
Fun Part: Your Choice
One reason you'll love the Advanced
Open Water Diver course is that you
and your instructor choose from 15 types
of Adventure Dives to complete your
course. You can try your hand at digital
underwater photography, night diving,
diving with underwater scooters, peak
performance buoyancy and much more.
Get credit! Each Adventure Dive in
the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course
may credit toward the first dive of
the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver
course.
