PADI Advanced Open Water Course

The PADI Advanced Open Water course is the next step in scuba diving after completing the PADI Open Water Diver certification. It’s designed to help you gain more confidence and experience to explore the underwater world.

The course consists of five adventure dives, including a deep dive and a navigation dive.
