PADI Advanced Open Water Course
Why become a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver?
The PADI Advanced Open Water dive course helps you build confidence and expands your scuba skills, while introducing you to some new fun more specific aspects of diving.
During the PADI Advanced Open Water course you will be exposed to deep diving and learn helpful navigation techniques, as well as have an introduction to and learn about three other diving related specialties.
Around the world there are countless exciting famous dive sites to visit, a lot of them deeper than 18m. The PADI Advanced Open Water certification enables you to broaden you dive opportunities from the normal 18m the PADI Open Water certification limits you to. Imagine it like a mountain and the Open Water Certification being half way. There is a lot of amazing shallower dives you can do, but in order to go further and see more we need to take the next step, which in diving terms would be your PADI Advanced Open Water certification, which enables you to venture and explore the underwater world up to 30m.
