PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course
Get your advanced certification in just one weekend
Do you have a desire to improve your dive skills? The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course will allow you to explore a variety of different specialties while gaining more experience under the direction of one of our instructors. Completed over one weekend, you will gain experience in deep, wreck, navigation, search and recovery and buoyancy diving.
Despite the name of the course, the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver is not reserved for advanced divers. Rather, it's intended as the next step after your PADI Open Water Diver course, to help you gain experience in different diving environments that you might encounter on vacation or on local dives. Think of it as part 2 in your learning to scuba dive program.
Why take your PADI Advanced Open Water course with us?
- In our standard course, you'll do 3 shore based dives and then 2 boat dives on some historical shipwrecks in the world famous thousand islands (without paying extra for the boat!)
- You'll benefit from a small group size and high instructor to student ratio
- You'll be exposed to different conditions, such as current, and will be closely supervised at all times.
- You'll use a dive computer to plan and manage your dives.
