ADVANCED OPEN WATER DIVER
CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is the next step for divers looking to expand their skills and explore greater depths. It’s ideal for those already certified as Open Water Divers.
The course includes theory sessions that can be completed online, where you’ll learn advanced diving concepts. After the theory, you’ll move on to practical dives.
The course consists of five dives, two of which are mandatory: underwater navigation and deep diving up to 30 meters. The other three dives are elective and can be chosen based on your interests, such as fish identification, naturalist diving, peak performance buoyancy, or nitrox diving.
Throughout the course, you’ll work closely with certified instructors who will guide you through each dive. Once successfully completed, you’ll receive the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification, allowing you to dive up to 30 meters and safely explore new underwater destinations worldwide.
What is an Adventure Dive?
