Curso PADI Advanced Open Water

The Advanced Open Water at Dive Academy opens access to the deeper sites around Tabarca and the Cartagena coast that are off-limits on an Open Water certification. La Llosa (Merolandia), with its 24–28 m profile and large grouper aggregations, is one of the key sites that becomes available at this level.

The course is built around five adventure dives, each focused on a different skill set. The deeper dive pushes to the 30 m limit, and the navigation dive builds the compass and natural navigation skills needed to move confidently underwater without a guide constantly pointing the way.

With the Advanced certification you can also dive the Pecio 30 site — three wooden wrecks at 30 m where sunfish (Mola mola) are regularly sighted — and the Arrecifes Artificiales at 24 m, the concrete block reef sunk decades ago to protect the seabed around Tabarca.

Courses run in Spanish and English. The 320 € fee covers the dives and instruction; equipment rental is available at 20 € extra if needed.
