Overview

Already comfortable underwater and ready for the next step? The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is where you transform from a beginner into a confident, capable diver with real experience.
This course is all about discovery and adventure. You’ll complete five different adventure dives, each introducing you to new skills and environments. Two are required—Deep Diving and Underwater Navigation—and the remaining three are entirely up to you. Choose from thrilling options like Wreck Diving, Drift Diving, Night Diving, Peak Performance Buoyancy, and more.

The beauty of the Advanced course is that there’s very little “classroom time.” Instead, you learn by doing, guided closely by your instructor as you experience new sensations underwater. Dive deeper, refine your buoyancy, hover effortlessly, find your way using natural clues, or explore sections of the reef you couldn’t reach before.

By the end of this course, you’ll earn the certification that allows you to dive confidently to 30 meters, giving you access to deeper reefs, wrecks, and marine life.
