About the course

Build on what you already know

Advanced Open Water is the next step after Open Water. Rather than more classroom time, it is a set of five adventure dives, each one a taste of a different kind of diving.

Two of the dives are always the same: a deep dive and an underwater navigation dive. You choose the other three with your instructor. When you finish, you are certified to dive to 30 metres.

The course

Two days, five adventure dives

A deep dive, a navigation dive, and three more you choose with your instructor.

Day 1

Deep and navigation

The two required dives: a deep dive below 18 metres, and finding your way with a compass and natural features.

Day 2

Your three choices

Three adventure dives you pick with your instructor, such as buoyancy, drift, wreck, fish identification or photography.

The navigation dive

Finding your way underwater with a compass and with what you can see around you, so you can always get back to the boat.
