Course program :

The Advanced Open Water Diver (AOWD) is a pure practical course to gain more experience in some special areas of scuba diving.

Therefore you have to do 5 dives out of 5 different 'Specialties'. You will have to prepare yourself for each special dive with the AOWD manual. The theory is limited to the preparation of the dives, intensive briefings and debriefings, no classroom modules or final exam.

Obligatory is the NAVIGATION dive and the DEEP dive. Three further dives you may choose. We offer you BOAT diving, NIGHT diving, PEEK PERFORMANCE BUOYANCY, CAVERN diving, WRECK diving, CURRENT diving, SEARCH AND RECOVERY and DIGITAL UNDER WATER PHOTOGRAPHY.

The PADI AOWD manual is included in the course.

Duration :

Minimum 2 days, but we recommend to spread the dives over several days of your vacation. You may choose the dates for your AOWD dives as you like, no fixed course schedule necessary.

FAQ Frequent questions :

I have the "Open Water" and just some dives, can I attend the PADI AOWD course?

YES, this course is designed to gain experience. If you don't have much practice, we recommend to begin the course with the "Peek performance buoyancy" dive
