Advanced Open Water

Lyon Plongée offers a unique pathway to enhance your diving qualifications with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or PADI Rescue Diver certifications, integrated with your French Level 3 training. This dual certification opportunity allows you to gain valuable skills and recognition from a globally respected agency while continuing your progression. The PADI Advanced Open Water course typically involves five adventure dives, expanding your depth limit to 30 meters, and introducing you to specialized areas like deep diving, underwater navigation, and more. The PADI Rescue Diver course focuses on accident prevention and management, equipping you with the knowledge and techniques to assist other divers in distress. Both programs are conducted by experienced instructors at Lyon Plongée, ensuring a high standard of training.

As a PADI-certified dive center, Lyon Plongée provides access to a variety of dive sites suitable for these advanced courses. While specific site details depend on the chosen certification and conditions, the French Mediterranean coast offers diverse underwater topography, from rocky reefs to sandy bottoms, often teeming with marine life. Visibility can vary, but is generally good, especially during the warmer months. The water temperature ranges from approximately 12°C in winter to 25°C in summer, influencing the type of thermal protection needed. Lyon Plongée's commitment to diver education is reflected in their ability to offer these internationally recognized PADI courses alongside their French certifications, catering to a diverse range of divers.
