Advanced Open Water Diver
Move up and experience real adventure with the PADI Advanced
Open Water Diver course. As you step beyond the PADI Open
Water Diver level, you make five dives and have the
opportunity to try some of diving's most rewarding and
useful specialty activities, such as deep diving, digital
underwater photography, wreck diving and much more. These
skills make diving much more than underwater sightseeing.
Plus, the Advanced Open Water Diver course takes you one
step closer to Master Scuba Diver - the ultimate
non-professional certification in recreational diving.
With your PADI Instructor you complete the deep and
underwater navigation Adventure Dives. These dives boost
your confidence as you build these foundational skills.
Then, you choose three additional dives from more than 15
Adventure Dives to complete your course. You can go diving
at night, or fly through the ocean on a diver propulsion
vehicle - all during your PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
course.
