Be a better diver
Exploration, excitement, experience. The PADI Advanced Open Water course helps you to increase your confidence and build your scuba skills to become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. This course builds on what you’ve learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun scuba diving.
One reason you’ll love the Advanced Open Water Diver course is that you and your instructor choose 5 specialties from 15 types of Adventure Dives to complete your course. You can try your hand at wreck diving, drift diving, night dive, peak performance buoyancy and much more.
2 specialties out of 5 are mandatory: navigation and deep diving. In order to be able to explore further the wonders that the marine world offers us, thanks to the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver you will be allowed to dive autonomously (with a buddy of equivalent or higher level) in the safety curve up to 30 meters deep.
All this … in 5 of the most beautiful dive sites in Cozumel
Following this comprehensive course you will be able to dive to a depth of 30 m anywhere in the world.
ALL 5 AOW Program dives are “adventure dives” and all can be used as the first dive of their associated specialty.
