Course Description

Designed so you can go straight into it after the PADI Open Water Diver course, the Advanced Open Water Diver course helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. This course builds on what you’ve learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun scuba diving. You’ll hone your skills by completing five adventure dives that will build on what you learned in the Open Water Course, and introduce you a variety of different dives like deep diving, night diving and more.
