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!
