What's the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about?
You don’t have to be
“advanced” to take it – it’s designed to advance your diving, so you can start
right after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification. The course helps
build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives.
You try out different specialties while gaining experience under the supervision
of your PADI Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new
ways to have fun scuba diving.
Compared
to the Open Water Course, the Advanced Open Water course is informal in its
academic approach as there are no formal exams, just knowledge reviews. You will
discuss and agree the specialities you will be doing in advance with your
instructor so that you can read that section of the book and do the the
knowledge review in advance, then on the day when you have done the dive you
will discuss your answers with your instructor just to make sure you have fully
understood everything.
The
course lasts for two days (5 dives) & is normally conducted at an in-land
lake, there is also an e-Learning course (6-8hrs).
Get
credit!

course, ask your instructor if you’ve earned credit for an Adventure Dive.
