Advanced Open Water Training 

2009 Class Dates

The PADI Advanced Open Water Course is designed to:

  • Improve your diving skills 
  • Give you added confidence in various diving conditions 
  • Introduce you to multi-level diving using the "PADI Wheel"
Unlike the basic open water course, it stresses practical application rather than theory. This means only:
  • One classroom session 
  • One pool session 
  • Five open water dives

This course is ideal for the diver who has just passed his/her open water course or for those certified divers who wish to further their diving experience.

 
 COST: $160.00

PREREQUISITES:
You must be 10 years of age or older and have a PADI, or equivalent, Open Water certification.

COURSE OUTLINES:

CLASSROOM: One classroom session to review the information in the PADI Advanced Open Water manual from the chapters below, learn the use of the PADI Wheel and discuss the upcoming open water dives.

POOL SESSIONS: One workout in the pool to practice skills that will be used during the open water dives.

EQUIPMENT AND COURSE MATERIALS REQUIRED:
