After completing your Open Water course, you may want to become more confident when underwater, maybe even defeat your fear of deep water or simply learn some new skills, such as mastering your buoyancy and breathing to get an optional trim underwater. In this case the PADI Advanced Open Water Course could be your next step! Very much like the Adventure Diver, the Advanced Open Water is comprised of individual adventure dives. An AOW certification is often required for those who wish to participate on live aboard excursions.
The Advanced Open Water course will extend the depth limit of your Open Water Certification from 18 meters/60 feet to 30 meters/100 feet.
Guess what! It is not even necessary to spend a lot of time in the classroom, partaking in long theory sessions! You will learn your lessons with ease by simply reading the sections of the Advanced Diver manual relevant to the dives you are participating on. After reviewing the important points with your diving instructor you’ll be on your way straight into the blue water.
With 5 dives over 2 days, including a deep dive and a navigation dive, you will become capable of exploring even more of the underwater world!
