PADI Advanced Open Water Diver

Take the Master Scuba Diver Challenge

Learn more and experience real adventure with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course. As you step beyond the PADI Open Water Diver level, you'll have the opportunity to try some of diving's most rewarding and useful specialty activities.

A weekend of diving at Mermet Springs brings you the opportunity to explore the 727 airplane, dive deep beyond the 60' limit, explore the quarry at night and practice your navigation and buoyancy control skills.

The Advanced Open Water Diver course prepares you for the Rescue Diver course and takes you one step closer to Master Scuba Diver - the ultimate non professional certification in recreational diving.

Drysuit Option

Be sure to take advantage of our Drysuit Option! Drysuits keep you warm and toasty when the water's chilly. There's no reason not to enjoy your open water dives as much as possible.

Do all your training dives using a modern dry suit system and become dry suit certified the same weekend you do your Advanced Open Water Diver certification dives. It's only $125 / person (that's a $30 savings over doing the Drysuit Diver course later) and includes a drysuit orientation session, one pool dive with the drysuit, use of the drysuit on all your open water dives and one additional open water dive for your Drysuit Diver certification. Plus you'll be one step closer to earning your Master Scuba Diver!

This option is required if you want to do the drysuit dive as one of your adventure dives during the course.
