Buceador 2 estrellas (FECDAS) / Advanced Diver (PADI)

The next step after Open Water, available here as either PADI Advanced Open Water or FECDAS 2 Estrellas. At 330€ it's priced below the entry course, which reflects that the theory component is smaller and the focus shifts to logged dives across different disciplines.

On the Costa Brava, the natural terrain for advanced training includes wall dives, deeper reef sections and sites with variable visibility — all of which feature in the La Llosa de Palamós profile (10–30 m). Deeper dives to 30 meters are part of the PADI Advanced syllabus, and this site covers that range without needing to travel far from Platja d'Aro.

The dual PADI/FECDAS structure at Divers Diving means you can continue on whichever certification track you started. If you trained at a PADI-only school before arriving here, the center can accommodate you; same for FECDAS holders. The course is delivered in Catalan, Spanish, English and French depending on the group.

You need a valid Open Water or equivalent before starting. The price is 330€; check with the center for the number of dives and any equipment requirements included in that figure.
