Advanced Open Water
Whether you're newly certified or have hundreds of dives logged, when you're looking for new underwater experiences, new skills and fun, look to the PADI Advanced Open Water program - your open door to diving adventure.
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course can be completed in as little as one weekend. It consists of the two core dives and three elective dives, making it a good choice if you want to progress rapidly through the PADI System.
Diving interests and dive sites differ - so you get to choose the specialty dives in your PADI Advanced Open Water program, guided by one of Poseidon's PADI Instructors. You'll make "core" underwater navigation, deep dives, and then choose "elective" dives from:
- Drift
- Boat
- Night
- Altitude
- Dry suit
- Multilevel
- Search and recovery
- Underwater naturalist
- Deep
- Wreck
- Fish ID
- Navigation
- Videography
- Diver Propulsion vehicle
- Underwater photographer
- Peak Performance Buoyancy
After successfully completing the course, you'll receive the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification. This allows you to participate in more advanced diving activities with a maximum recommended depth limit of 100 feet, in addition to the qualifications listed for PADI Open Water Divers.
