PADI Advanced Open Water Diver – 3 Days

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course 

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver is a course for any certified diver who wants to deepen their knowledge, improve their techniques and consolidate their diving skills.

During 5 dives with your instructor you will gain experience in different environments (freshwater and ocean) and increase your skills underwater while extending your previous depth limits in a safe and fun manner.

What to expect?

The theoretical part of the PADI AOW course can be completed either PADI eLearning ahead of Time (recommended) or by Book and in-person classes.

During the first two shallow dives of your AOW course you will explore the topics of Underwater Navigation and Peak Performance Buoyancy.
During all dives there will be some exercises your instructor will guide you through to develop your skills,
and there truly is nothing better than learning to improve your hobby alongside beautiful reefs and shoals of fish.

On dive number 3 you will complete another mandatory learning objective, a deep-dive.
Your instructor will lead you down to a depth deeper than 18 meters to compare the behaviour of our senses under such pressure.
You will also learn about safety and buddy-procedures, and how to plan and avoid risks when conducting deep-dives.

The remaining two dives are topics of your choice:
Wreck I Night I Nitrox (recommended) I Cavern I Fish ID I Digital Underwater Photographer I Underwater Naturalist I Sidemount I Drift I Boat

After every dive your instructor will debrief you regarding the previous dive and any questions can be made.
Your instructor will fill in your logbook with you.
After the last dive and upon reviewing all theory work, you will be certified immediately.

The Advanced Open Water Diver Course offers the perfect base to combine the Enriched Air Diver within.

PADI Advanced Open Water Course – Two Options

Taking your diving to the next level by completing the PADI Advaced Open Water Diver Course in the Riviera Maya opens up many options as to what you want to include within your course.

We’ve optimized these different adventure dive options and cut it down to a choice of two modalities.
You can choose whether you want to complete all of your Advanced Open Water Diver training dives in the ocean only, or if you prefer to include one day (2-3 dives) of diving in a Cenote – to complete the Cavern Adventure dive and other specialties there.

During Bullshark season (November until end of February each year) it’s also possible to upgrade one of the dives to a bullshark dive.
Contact us for further information or combination-inquiries.
