PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course

If you know how to dive and spot fish in the water, that doesn’t mean your diving journey has to stop. With the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course, you can make diving more exciting and learn a lot more interesting things that you can do while diving.   The waters in the Gulf of Thailand are one of the best places for diving in the whole word. The waters are warm and clear so you get a clear view of what is under the water, a world filled with thousands of different, exotic, tropical fish and nature. And that makes it an ideal location to learn more and advance your scuba diving skillset, right here in Koh Samui and Koh Tao.   To get the most out of scuba diving, the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course will teach you 5 different specialties of diving. You will discover that there are a lot of other things that you can do underwater, aside from just gazing at the fish. This course will advance your expertise in diving.   Diving 30 meters below the sea level is called deep diving; it is an amazing experience and is an essential part of the Advanced Open Water Diving course along with navigation specialties. The latter is a crucial skill that helps you learn how to find your way under water, both with and without the help of a compass. It is not just a specialty but also a necessary and valuable skill.   After the aforementioned specialties, you are required to choose three additional specialties. You can choose from the following:  

• Wreck Diving
• Night Diving
• Search and Recovery
• Peak Performance Buoyancy
• Digital Underwater Photography
• AWARE Fish Identification
• Diver Propulsion Vehicles (Underwater Scooters)
• Underwater Videography
• Multilevel & computer diving
• Boat Diving

  When the course starts you have to study the specialties you choose in the Advanced Open Water book. Unlike the Open Water course, there will be no test or exam, although you will be required to answer some questions at the end of the specialty. Before heading to the boat, your PADI instructor will run all the theory by you to ensure that you have learned all the necessary information.   There will be 5 dives, each of which will require putting the theory into practice by executing the skills and following the procedures as described. Your instructor will brief you on all the equipment and gear before each dive.   All the required equipment and gear will be provided by the PADI Advanced Open Water course. If special equipment is required, you will have to rent it. On both days of the course, a traditional Thai buffet lunch will be provided on the boat.   PADI Advanced Open Water Diver training courses boast a very high customer satisfaction rate, and we are positive that you won’t be an exception to that.
