The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is designed to improve your underwater skills, boost your confidence, and expand your diving horizons.

To enroll, you must meet the following criteria:
Hold a PADI Open Water Diver certification (or an equivalent certification from another recognized training organization).
Be at least 12 years old (divers aged 12–14 will earn the Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification).
Be in good physical health.
No. You can start the Advanced course immediately after completing your Open Water certification. The program is specifically designed to help new divers build experience and get proper guidance early in their diving journey.
You will complete 5 Adventure Dives. Each dive focuses on a different diving specialty.
To get certified, you must complete two mandatory dives and three elective dives:
Mandatory Dives:
Elective Dives (Common Examples):
Generally, the practical training in the water takes 2 days to complete all 5 dives. The online theory takes just a few hours and must be finished before your first in-water session.
Standard scuba gear rental (BCD, regulator, tank, and weights) is included in the course fee. However, we recommend that students own their own mask, snorkel, and fins for maximum comfort and fit.
Note: Specialized gear needed for specific elective dives (such as dive torches for a Night Dive or a compass for Navigation) will be provided by our dive center.
With your Advanced certification, you can enroll in advanced specialty courses (such as Enriched Air/Nitrox) and you will be fully prepared for the challenging and rewarding Rescue Diver course.
