Advanced Open Water
The PADI Advanced Open Water course is the perfect opportunity to learn about some of the special and exciting types of dives available. The Advanced rating builds experience and understanding of diving, and is designed to be taken directly after the Open Water course.
The term "Advanced" is often mis-interpreted, as this course is simply advanced training for Open Water divers.
What will I learn?
You may want to look for lost items, take pictures under water, or visit your favourite reef at night. Your Advanced Course will give you the experience of some of the most popular diving activities, as well as developing skills that will allow your dives to be safer and more enjoyable.
This course improves your under water skills, providing you with a sample of specialty diving activities, however the extent and term of each differs to accommodate your interests. Pre-Requisites You must hold either the PADI Open Water certification or a similar certification from another federation and be at least 12 years of age.
What’s involved?
