PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course
$649
Elevate Your Diving Adventure!
Remember when you first dipped your toes into the diving world, eager to get that Open Water Diver certification? That was a huge step! But guess what? Diving with just a beginner's certification is kind of like trying to land your dream job with only elementary school education—just not enough.
That's where the Advanced Open Water Diver course comes in! This course packs in essential skills and knowledge that you didn't have time for in the beginner's course.
Why go for it? Here’s why:
- Extra Experience: Get more open water dives under the watchful eye of a seasoned instructor.
- Try New Things: Dive from shore and from a boat, and get a taste of different specialty dives.
- Go Deeper: Extend your depth rating from 60 to 100 feet.
- Unlock More Courses: Need this for Rescue, Divemaster, and Assistant Instructor training? You're covered. Plus, it's a stepping stone for specialty courses like Underwater Navigation and Deep Diving.
- Master Scuba Diver Goals: If aiming for the top is your thing, this is your starting line.
- Exclusive Adventures: Participate in dives limited to “Advanced Divers Only.”
Though it's designed to be taken right after your Open Water Diver course, the two are quite different. The beginner course is all about building basic skills and knowledge. The advanced course, however, is your chance to dive into a variety of fun, specialty activities.
And the best part? Instead of following a strict curriculum, you get to design your own diving path—just like picking college electives!
So, ready to take the plunge and advance your diving possibilities? 🌊🐠
