Exploration, Excitement, Experiences……….. You don’t have to be “advanced” – 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. The Advanced Open Water course is the next step to further your education and experience, as well as increasing your depth limit to 30 meters. It takes 2 days and there are 5 dives. You will do a Deep Dive and a Navigation Dive, as well as 3 dives of your choice. The most popular adventure dives here, are peak performance buoyancy, wreck, naturalist, night (additional 55 AED for night dive) and many more. You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. Get credit! Each Adventure Dive may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver Course. If you’ve already taken a specialty diver course, ask your instructor if you’ve earned credit for an Adventure Dive. If you’re already an Adventure Diver, you only need to complete two more Adventure Dives to earn the Advanced Open Water Diver certification. You can also combine the Nitrox Course specialty together with your Advanced Open Water diver course at a special price of 475 AED including manual and certification fees (course must be completed at the same time of the AOWC).

Ready to help yourself…..and others……….. Scuba divers describe the PADI Rescue Diver course as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken. Why? Because you learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills until they become second nature. Plus, the course is just fun – it’s serious, but still allows for lots of laughter in between the focused learning. You also need to have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. You can complete this training during the Rescue Diver course. The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major, using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills.It is recommended you finish all the theory before you come here to do your course. That way you can enjoy your evenings and relax. We run the PADI Rescue Diver Course whenever we have someone who is interested so just contact us with the dates that suit you best.
