PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
The Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about advancing your skills. You'll practice navigation and buoyancy, try deep diving and make three specialty dives of your choosing (it's like a specialty sampler platter). For every specialty dive you complete, you can earn credit toward PADI® specialty certifications.

Let your underwater adventure continue! Improve your scuba skills as you explore new dive sites and activities, under the guidance of your instructor. The PADI Advanced Open Water course is a rewarding and enjoyable certification for those Open Water divers who can see the benefits of having additional training. With PADI Advanced Open Water training you'll learn which diving specialties interest you, and what type of diving you enjoy most. You can begin to consider which direction diving will take you, as you experience a small part of what is on offer.
As part of your training you will complete five open water adventure dives. One of which will be a Navigation dive and another will be a Deep dive, plus a further three adventure dives.
