The Advanced Open Water Diver course helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. This course builds on what you've learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to advanced scuba activities and new ways to have fun diving.

You'll hone your skills by completing five Adventure Dives that introduce you to:

• Underwater navigation
• Deeper water diving (typically anywhere from 18-30 metres/ 60-100 feet)
• An introduction to three more Adventure Dives - Wreck and Night as well as Search & Recovery or Drysuit. (add Drysuit Diver with an extra dive and get two certifications in one weekend!)

• A PADI Open Water Diver (or hold a qualifying certification from another training organization)
