Confidence. Control. Better Dives.

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is about doing exactly what the name promises: advancing your diving.

You don’t need to be “advanced” to take this class. You just need to be comfortable underwater and ready to grow. This course builds confidence, improves awareness, and helps you make better decisions underwater through real dives in real conditions.

This is where diving starts to feel intentional instead of reactive.

Advanced Open Water is built around experience, not pressure.

You’ll complete five Adventure Dives, each designed to expand your comfort zone and sharpen specific skills. You’ll plan dives, log dives, and learn how to think through dives instead of just following along.

This is not a card-collecting exercise.
It’s about becoming a more capable diver.

All students complete two required dives:

• Deep Adventure Dive
  Learn how to plan and execute deeper dives while managing gas, narcosis awareness, and task loading.

• Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive
  Refine compass skills, kick cycles, natural navigation, and situational awareness so you actually know where you are underwater.

These two dives alone dramatically increase confidence for most divers.

You’ll select three additional Adventure Dives based on interest, conditions, and location. Options may include:

• Peak Performance Buoyancy

• Night Diver

• Digital Underwater Photography

• Wreck Diver

• Search and Recovery

• Fish Identification

• Dry Suit (conditions dependent)

Each Adventure Dive may count as credit toward the corresponding PADI Specialty course.

This course is ideal for:

• Certified Open Water Divers ready to level up

• Divers looking to build confidence and control

• Anyone preparing for deeper or more complex dives

Prerequisites:

• PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver or equivalent

• Minimum age: 12 (Junior restrictions apply)

If you’re already an Adventure Diver, you only need two additional Adventure Dives to earn Advanced Open Water certification.

This course includes:

• Knowledge development via instructor-led classroom sessions or PADI eLearning (student’s choice)

• Five Open Water Adventure Dives

• Typically completed over two or more days, depending on conditions and scheduling

Training is conducted in small groups or private formats to maximize coaching and comfort.

You’ll use standard scuba equipment plus additional gear depending on your chosen Adventure Dives.

This may include items such as a compass, dive light, lift bag, or other specialty equipment.

Gear requirements will be communicated in advance so you know exactly what to bring or rent.

Advanced Open Water isn’t about chasing depth.

It’s about building judgment, confidence, and comfort underwater.

If you’re ready to move beyond “just certified” and start diving with intention, this course delivers.
