PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course
+ Enriched Air Specialty (Nitrox) + Dry Suit Specialty Diver if applicable

Why PADI Advanced Open Water?
Informative and fun – that best describes the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course. After your five dives, you'll be more experienced, feel more comfortable in the water and simply enjoy diving more because you will better understand the underwater environment. This course will expand your experience levels in many new areas. This certification will also qualify you to dive to 30m. This is not only desirable for general diving, but also very useful for insurance purposes as divers are usually only covered to the depth rating of their certification.

What Do I Need To Start?
You can enrol in the Advanced Open Water Diver Course as a certified Open Water Diver (or have a qualifying certification from another organization). You can start the Advanced Open Water Diver Course once you have completed your Open Water Diver Certification.
