Curriculum for the Advanced Open Water Course
The Deep and Navigation dives are compulsory dives for the Advanced Course, plus 3 other optional dives to be decided between you and your instructor, based on your level of experience and diving interests.
- The Advanced Open Water Course (AOWC) consists of 5 dives. There is no classroom time or video lessons for this course, as the Advanced Course is about expanding on information you already learned in the Open Water Course and gaining more specialized dive experience for the type of diving that interests you. The manual has a chapter for all of the dives possible during the course / 1st dive for each specialty course. It is necessary to read only the 5 chapters for the 5 dives you will make during the course and answer the "Knowledge Review" questions at the end of each chapter. Your instructor will review the answers to the questions with you, then make an extended dive briefing before completing the dive. After successful completion of the course, the Advanced Open Water license allows you to dive to 30 meters with another certified diver of the same level or higher.
- The Adventure Diver Course (ADC) includes any 3 Adventure Dives, and it is possible to upgrade to the Advanced Certification at any time in the future by completing the last 2 Adventure Dives for the Advanced Course. After successful completion of the course, the Adventure Diver license allows you to dive to 18 / 30 meters, according to your training, with another certified diver of the same level or higher. This course is ideal for Jr. level divers under 15 years old, as the maximum depth is 21 meters for Jr. Advanced Open Water. It is better to wait until the age of 15, so the Deep dive can be made to 30 meters instead of 21 meters.
- Adventure Dives: 1 dive for the Advanced Course, which is also the first dive for the corresponding Speciality Course. You will receive a Referral Form which you can provide to any PADI Instructor or PADI Dive Center when you are ready to complete the certification for the Adventrure Diver, Advanced, or any Specialty Course. Adventure Dives are perfect for people who have limitied time on their holiday and would like to qualify for a specific dive, such as a deep dive. For example, after completing the training for the Deep Adventure Dive, it is then possible to make dives to 30 meters without having to complete the full Advanced Course.
