Summer Opening
Advanced open water
The PADI Advanced Open Water course consists of five open water dives in specialist diving areas including deep and navigation. Upon completion you will be qualified to dive to 30 meters in conditions similar to or better than those you were trained in. To enrol in an Advanced Open Water course you must be over 12 years of age, be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver (or equivalent) and fill in and sign a medical statement.
The only academic work needed is that you watch the video or DVD, read the chapters from the manual relevant to the dives you are taking and fill in the knowledge reviews. As well as deep and navigation your specialty dives will be in either boat, dry suit, wreck, altitude, search and recovery, drift, peak performance buoyancy, fish identification, night, photography, multi-level, videography, diver propulsion vehicle, enriched air or naturalist. The exact dives that you do will be determined by your interest, the environment you are training in, the conditions at the dive site and your instructors discretion. We conduct the course to suit your needs but usually over a couple of days at a local site.. The cost for the course is £275 which includes manual, adventure slate, adventure log book, air fills, tuition and certification.
If you wish to do the dry suit dive as one of your dives and you do not have prior dry suit experience then you will also need to do a dry suit orientation evening at our dive centre. The cost for this is £25 but includes use of the dry suit throughout your course.
Note: If you do the course in the UK between November and April then dry suit orientation and hire are included in the course price.
