Advanced Open Water

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course at Goby Divers in Curaçao is designed to significantly expand your underwater horizons beyond the foundational Open Water certification. This program focuses on practical application, incorporating five distinct adventure dives. Two of these are mandatory: Deep Diving, which will take you beyond the standard 18-meter limit to depths of up to 30 meters (100 feet), and Underwater Navigation, crucial for exploring new sites with confidence. The remaining three dives are tailored to your interests and the local conditions, offering opportunities to explore wrecks, experience night diving, or refine buoyancy control.
