Advanced Open Water

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course at Ocean Trek Tenerife is your next step in exploring the underwater world, building directly on your Open Water Diver certification. This program is structured around five adventure dives, designed to enhance your diving skills and introduce you to new underwater environments. You will be guided by experienced instructors to a maximum depth of 30 meters (100 feet), significantly expanding your diving capabilities. The course includes two mandatory dives: Deep Diving, which teaches you to manage the physiological effects and risks of deeper dives, and Underwater Navigation, focusing on compass skills and various navigation techniques. These core dives are essential for becoming a more confident and competent diver.

Beyond the mandatory dives, you will select three additional adventure dives tailored to your interests. Options commonly available include Night Diving, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Wreck Diving, and Underwater Photography, among others. Each specialty dive offers practical experience and insight into a specific area of diving, allowing you to customize your learning experience. For instance, mastering Peak Performance Buoyancy can significantly improve your air consumption and control, while Night Diving reveals a completely different nocturnal marine ecosystem. This flexibility ensures the course is both educational and personally rewarding, allowing you to discover what aspects of diving excite you most.

Tenerife's waters offer a consistent diving environment, with sea temperatures averaging around 21°C throughout the year, making it suitable for diving in various months. While specific visibility data is not provided, the Canary Islands are generally known for good underwater visibility, supporting the exploration of diverse dive sites. The course price is set at 420 EUR, reflecting the comprehensive training and guidance provided by Ocean Trek's certified instructors. The center offers certification through PADI, a globally recognized agency, ensuring your new qualifications are respected worldwide.
