Intermediate/Advanced Diving course - Advanced Open Water & Advanced +

So you've completed an Open Water Diver course, got a few dives under your belt. Maybe you want to improve your skills. Perhaps you fancy underwater photography, want to look at wrecks that are a little deeper than 18 meters, or want more help with that buoyancy? Then the Advanced Open Water Course is for you!

This package is made up of five open water dives. Two of these are core dives, which have to be completed. They are the deep dive and underwater navigation. The remaining three can be chosen from a wide range of interests. As before, this package is performance based. A period of self-learning is undertaken, with knowledge reviews being used to check understanding. There is no formal classroom session for this program, but all individual dives can be supplemented with additional training videos.

The following is a list of alternative dives that can be undertaken. They can also be individually taken as specialities, which would earn you a separate certification.

(This course is normally for more advanced divers, however a Nitrox dive can undertaken during the open water dives)

The Advanced Plus course offers you more underwater experience and a greater understanding of diving.

Both the Advanced Open Water and the Advanced Plus further develops your diving skills. As with the Advanced course, two core dives are completed, plus seven elective dives, CPR and first aid training (i.e. PADI EFR Course), plus in-depth diving knowledge development.

This course can be undertaken as part of a holiday package if required. The cost of the training can be built into the holiday package and is very competitive.

Completion of this course puts you in a very good position to undertake the PADI Rescue Diver program, and even go on to become a Divemaster, the first Professional step for a diver moving on to becoming a PADI Instructor.
