The PADI Advanced Open Water course is a great way for qualified divers to gain valuable experience in a supervised manner.
As an Advanced Open Water student you will take part in five dives, each aiming to give you experience and skills in different types of diving. Two of these dives are done from our boat (weather dependent).
The Navigation and Deep dives are required for Advanced certification. The other three dives available will be based on the time of year and diving conditions on the day, but typically include Peak Performance Buoyancy, Boat, Wreck and Night (winter only).
If you have other dives that you would like to complete just let us know and we will look at making it happen for you,(please note that additional costs may apply).
These five dives & theory sessions will give you the confidence and ability to dive in similar conditions.
Gaining this certification also qualifies you to dive up to 30m.
The course cost does not include dive gear. Full gear hire $100.
*please note that the sea conditions will affect the dives that are available on the day
The course typically takes place over a weekend (2-3 days, depending on the time of year and weather constraints).
Saturday: 08.30 - 16.00
Sunday: 08.30 - 17.00
