Advanced Open Water Diver
* Continuing Education
This course can be taken after completing the PADI Open Water Diver certification.
It's titled PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, because it advances your diving knowledge & skills.
Description
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. 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.
Get credit! Each Adventure Dive may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty Diver Course. If you’ve already taken a specialty diver course, ask your instructor if you’ve earned credit for an Adventure Dive.
PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 12 years old are ready to step up and enroll in an Advanced Open Water Diver course. Young divers may only participate in certain Adventures Dives – check with your PADI Instructor.
If you’re already an Adventure Diver, you only need to complete two more Adventure Dives to earn the Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
Home Study
You will have course work and knowledge reviews to do (Home Study). This is best done before you arrive in Malta by PADI eLearning, which means you spend less time in the dive centre learning and more time enjoying MALTA. You will have reading and have knowledge reviews to do for each dive and we will also review them before the dives to make sure you understand the theory. GREAT NEWS - there are no exams or quizzes for the Advanced Open Water Diver.
