Advanced Open Water Diver

Elevate your diving capabilities with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course offered by Trek Divers in the Seychelles. This program is meticulously designed to build upon your Open Water Diver certification, enabling you to explore deeper and more complex underwater environments. You will undertake five distinct adventure dives, each focusing on a different aspect of advanced diving. These dives are conducted from Trek Divers' yacht, the Twin Spirit, which serves as a comfortable and practical floating base. The course aims to introduce you to essential skills such as deep diving, underwater navigation, and potentially drift diving, with a typical maximum depth of 30 meters (100 feet).

The practical application of skills is central to this course. The Deep Adventure Dive specifically addresses the physiological effects of increased depth and the procedures for planning and executing dives safely to greater depths. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive sharpens your ability to use a compass and natural references for precise orientation beneath the surface, ensuring you can confidently find your way. Depending on site availability and student interest, other adventure dives may include Night Diving, Peak Performance Buoyancy, or Wreck Diving. All dives are supervised by a PADI instructor, providing personalized guidance to master new techniques.

Successful completion of the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course unlocks access to a wider range of dive sites and more advanced diving activities. The Seychelles provides a stunning backdrop for this training, with its diverse underwater topography, including granite formations and potential wreck sites. Conducting these dives from the Twin Spirit offers a unique and convenient platform for learning and exploration. This course is typically completed over two to three days, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical experience, with options for PADI e-learning to prepare in advance.
