About the Course
Excitement,
Exploration,
Experience,
that's what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is! You don't have to be "advanced" to sign up: it's designed to advance your diving so you can start diving right after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification.
Through various Adventure Dives, the course helps you build your self-confidence and expand your skills. You experience different specialty dives as you gain experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. As you discover new ways to have fun, you'll log your dives and develop different skills.
Get credit! Each Adventure Dive may be credited as the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver course. If you have already completed a specialty course, ask your instructor if this counts as credit towards an Adventure Dive.
If you are at least 12 years old and you are a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver, you are ready to take the extra step and enroll in the Advanced Open Water Diver course. Younger divers can only participate in certain Adventure Dives - ask your PADI Instructor for information.
If you already have the Adventure Diver certification, you only need to complete two more Adventure Dives to achieve the Advanced Open Water Diver.
With your instructor, you will organize your learning by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. Two dives are required - the Deep and the Underwater Navigation - and you will choose the remaining three, for a total of five dives.
Durante la Deep Adventure Dive, imparerai come pianificare le immersioni per gestire gli effetti fisiologici e le problematiche delle immersioni più profonde.
The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive sharpens your compass navigation skills and, through the use of kick cycles, visual cues and timing, helps you navigate better.
The other knowledge and skills you will gain depend on your interests and the adventures you will have - photography, buoyancy control, fish identification, wreck exploration and many more.
Thanks to the Advanced Open Water Diver course, you could get school credits.
Improve Your SCUBA!
