Advanced Open Water
This is the phase where you begin specializing in various thrilling forms of scuba diving, enabling you to explore wrecks, dive at night, reach depths of up to 30 meters, and even acquire skills in capturing mesmerizing underwater photos.
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Certification is earned through the completion of five "Adventure" scuba dives.
Among these, one must extend beyond 18 meters, while another must focus on Underwater Navigation.
It's essential to note that while we cover up to five "adventure" dives, the course material and depth of instruction provided are not as exhaustive as those in Specialty Dives.
For instance, although the course includes Underwater Navigation, a dedicated Underwater Navigation Specialty Course offers a more comprehensive learning experience.
