Are you looking to transcend the limits of recreational diving?

Stop being the diver who stays on the surface while others experience the best dives. The Advanced Open Water Diver course is the only key that will allow you to unlock 100% of the world’s dive sites  from fascinating shipwrecks at 30 meters deep to the hidden marine life that only appears at night.
By focusing 100% on practice without a stressful theoretical exam, this course guarantees an immediate improvement in your confidence, navigation, and buoyancy control, transforming your air consumption and peace of mind. If you want to stop being a beginner and become the confident, skilled explorer you’ve always dreamed of, there’s no step more exciting or practical than this one.

  • Unlock the 30 Meter Depth Level and Global Exploration

    The most immediate benefit of the Advanced Open Water Diver course is that it certifies you to dive up to 30 meters (100 feet) deep, breaking the 18-meter limitation of your initial certification.
    This new ability not only opens the doors to thousands of fascinating dive sites around the world (including deeper wrecks and rock formations), but also trains you specifically in the planning and safety procedures required for these dives.
    By expanding your range of exploration, you ensure you won’t miss the best spots the underwater world has to offer.

  • Goodbye Exams: It’s 100% Practical and Confidence-Focused

    Unlike your Open Water Diver course, which had heavy theory and a final exam, the Advanced Open Water program is based on the philosophy of “learning by doing.”
    This course has no exam, but instead a series of adventure dives where the focus is on the practical application of theory to increase your confidence and independence underwater.
    You’ll work directly with your instructor in real environments to polish key skills like buoyancy management and air consumption, ensuring you finish the course as a more efficient and confident diver.

  • Choose Your Own Learning Path with 3 Sample Specialties

    The course is designed for you to personalize according to your interests, acting as a “tasting menu” of diving specialties. Although Deep Diving and Underwater Navigation are mandatory, you have the exciting freedom to choose the other three Adventure Dives. Want to capture amazing photos? Choose Underwater Photography. Attracted by the mysteries of the night? Try Night Diving. This unique flexibility lets you experience the most exciting areas of diving without the commitment of a full specialty course, helping you define your future path of exploration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take the Advanced Open Water right after my Open Water?

Yes, you can. There’s no minimum number of dives required between the two. The Advanced course is designed precisely to build your confidence and gain practical experience immediately under supervision.

What is the real benefit of diving up to 30 meters (100 feet)?

It allows you to access the vast majority of the best dive sites in the world, such as many wrecks and reef walls that lie beyond the 18-meter Open Water limit.

What will I learn in the course that helps me use less air?

The Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive (which you can choose) trains you to maintain a horizontal position and use your breathing to control depth.This reduces drag and energy use, drastically improving your air consumption.

Do I need to buy specialized equipment for this course?

No, it’s not necessary.We’ll provide the required equipment for the specialized adventure dives.

If I enjoy an Adventure Dive, what’s next?

An Adventure Dive counts as the first dive of the corresponding full specialty course (for example, Underwater Photography or Wreck Diving). If you love it, you’ll only need to complete the rest of that specialty course.
