Advanced Open Water

Elevate your diving capabilities with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (AOWD) course offered by NX21 Buceo. This certification is designed for certified Open Water Divers seeking to expand their underwater experience and confidence. Upon completion, you will be qualified to dive to 30 meters, opening doors to more challenging dives and the ability to accompany more experienced divers. NX21 Buceo focuses on a fun, practical learning experience, eliminating pool sessions and final exams. The curriculum includes online theory covering 13 specialty dives like buoyancy, nitrox, night diving, wreck diving, and underwater photography. The practical component consists of five open water dives conducted in the rich environment of La Herradura: one deep dive (below 18m), one navigation dive, and three specialty dives tailored to your interests.

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification is globally recognized by PADI and is equivalent to a 2-star FEDAS or SSI certification. This course is structured to significantly improve your navigation skills, buoyancy control, and air consumption management. You will be introduced to essential protocols for deep diving, learn the effective use of a compass for underwater navigation, and gain experience in dive planning, all while earning specialty credits that can be applied towards further PADI certifications. The practical dives in La Herradura offer a diverse setting for mastering these advanced techniques.
