PADI Advance Open Water Course

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course at Simply Scuba is your next step to exploring more of the underwater world, building directly on your Open Water certification. This program is designed for divers eager to gain more experience and confidence, pushing their boundaries safely. You will complete five PADI Adventure Dives, each introducing a new facet of diving. Two dives are core requirements: Deep Diving, which teaches you to plan and execute dives to depths of 18-30 meters, and Underwater Navigation, refining your compass and natural reference skills. The remaining three dives are elective, allowing you to tailor the course to your interests, such as wreck diving, night diving, or peak performance buoyancy.

This course emphasizes practical application over extensive theory, focusing on hands-on experience under the direct supervision of a PADI instructor. You'll learn advanced buoyancy control, dive planning considerations for greater depths, and specialized techniques. Simply Scuba often conducts these dives in locations like Tioman Island, renowned for its vibrant marine life and diverse dive sites. The flexible scheduling allows completion over a weekend or spread across multiple days, accommodating your availability. Instruction is provided in English.

Upon successful completion of the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course, you will be certified to dive to a maximum depth of 30 meters (100 feet). This significantly expands the range of dive sites accessible to you and serves as a prerequisite for many PADI Specialty courses and professional-level training. It's a vital step in your continued diving education and opens up a wider array of underwater adventures.
