Advanced Open Water Certification

The Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about advancing your skills. You'll practice navigation and buoyancy, try deep diving and make three specialty dives of your choosing (it's like a specialty sampler platter). For every specialty dive you complete, you can earn credit toward PADI® specialty certifications.

PADI Advanced Open Water Certification is a two-day course consisting of five dives:

• Two core dives: Deep and Underwater Navigation

• The maximum depth depends on your age, but maximum depth is up to 21 meters/70 feet

Time commitment:

• Entire course: 2-3 days
