Duration: 2 – 3 Days
The Advanced Open Water course is designed as an experience programme and is all about diving; there are no
classroom sessions involved.
What will I do?
During the course you will experience some of diving’s most popular activities and develop skills that will make your diving safer and more enjoyable. After reading a chapter and completing a knowledge review from the manual, your instructor will give you a briefing and you make the dive. You will make a total of 5 dives, two of which are core dives and three elective. The first day will be spent on the house reef here in Sharks Bay and the second will be on the boat. Because of this the course can be tailor-made to suit the student’s needs – whether you are an experienced diver or a slightly rusty one!
The CORE dives (2) are obligatory:
- Deep – this introduces you to the physiological effects of diving deeper
- Navigation – this will teach you to use compasses and navigate underwater
The ELECTIVE dives (3) you can choose with your instructor from the following:
- Boat
- Drift
- Fish Identification
- Multilevel
- Night
- Peak Performance Buoyancy
- Search and Recovery
- Underwater Naturalist
- Wreck
All students must complete a PADI Medical statement, Certified diver experience programmes statement and Standard safe diving form prior to starting the course. If the student has any medical condition listed then signed clearance from a diving doctor, valid within 12 months will be required at check-in.
