PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course Overview

Build confidence and expand your scuba skills.

The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. You try out different specialties while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new ways to have fun scuba diving.

That’s what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. You don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification.

You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from the list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives for this PADI Advanced certification – Deep and Underwater Navigation – and you choose the other three, for a total of five dives.

To enrol in a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course you must hold a PADI Open Water Diver/Junior Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification) and be at least 12 years old.

To complete the academic studies through the eLearning product, we estimate 8 hours of independent study.

The duration of the three course options ranges between 2 and 3 days. A full day is 8 hours on average. 

All required equipment for your course is supplied by ABC Diving including dive computer. 

The total, fully inclusive cost of the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course starts at €380.00 with our ‘budget’ option. Our ‘Standard’ option is €420.00 and our ‘Bespoke’ option is €990.00.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

It is over a year since I dived, can I start this course straight away?

To get the most out of the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course, complete a refresher dive with us first. This way you can concentrate on learning without any distractions caused by the amount of time since your last dive. 

How deep will I go?

Any depth beyond 18 metres/60 feet is classed as ‘deep’. Therefore, the deep dive can be any depth between 18 metres and 30 metres/100 feet. We strive for student divers to get the most out of training with us. For that reason, we aim to reach 30 metres with Advanced Open Water students so long as student diver comfort and safety permits.
