Move up and experience real adventure with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course. As you step beyond the PADI Open Water Diver level, you make five dives and have the opportunity to try some of diving’s most rewarding and useful specialty activities, such as deep diving, underwater navigation, night diving, digital underwater photography, wreck diving and much more.

These skills make diving much more than underwater sightseeing. Plus, the Advanced Open Water Diver course takes you one step closer to Master Scuba Diver – the ultimate non-professional certification in recreational diving.

Advanced Open Water Certification is available anytime after completion of your Open Water Certification. Many divers get their advanced certification so they can go deeper on dives and acquire better diving skills.

You only need 5 dives to receive your advanced open water certification. Two of those dives are underwater navigation and a deep dive of more than 60 feet! You then get to choose the remaining three dives from our list of specialties:

Prerequisites:
1.  Must be a PADI Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another training organization)
      and at least15 years old (12 for Junior Advanced Open Water Diver)
2.  Number of dives: Five dives
3.  Each Adventure Dive in the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver course

Materials Needed:
Adventures in Diving Crew-Pak, Adventures in Diving manual and video and logbook
