Advanced Open Water Course

E-mail Print

Want to improve your dive skills?

The Advanced Open Water Diver course is a structured course where you gain additional experience and skills under the direct guidance of an instructor. We run the course on both Bunaken and Lembeh, this means that you can improve your dive skills whilst diving in the top dive locations of North Sulawesi and Indonesia.

On the course you will do a total of five dives from the following list. The course has something for everyone, and our aim will be to make you better divers.

Advanced Open Water dives

It is mandatory that you do the dives for Underwater Navigator and Deep Diver, and you can choose three others from the list below.


Dive

Description

Underwater Navigation

During your Underwater Dive you'll go on to familiarise yourself with the skills, knowledge, planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems, hazards and enjoyment of underwater navigation.

Deep Diver

During your Deep Dive, you'll cover the knowledge, skills and techniques needed to dive deep to 30m.

Wreck Diver

During your Wreck Dive you'll go to our local ship wreck which is a 65m cargo ship that sunk over 50 years ago. You'll develop your knowledge and techniques for wreck dives.

Night Diver

During your Night Dive you'll go to one of our dive sites. You'll learn to prepare for night dive activities and develop your knowledge and techniques for night diving.

Multilevel Diver

During your Multilevel Dive you'll learn about the importance of multilevel diving, and you will be exposed to a variety of different types of multilevel dive calculators (the Wheel and various types of dive computers).

Underwater Digital Photography

During your Underwater Photography Dive you'll use our digital camera, and put in to practice the tips and techniques you learned from your instructor and the PADI Digital Underwater Photograghy Manual.

You will take away with you a CD with the images that you took underwater so you can share the thrill of diving with friends and family.

Underwater Naturalist

During your Underwater Naturalist Dive we will introduce you to different aquatic life and include an overview of responsible human interactions with aquatic life.

Bunaken Island is a great place for this. It is known as one of the most diverse marine environments in the world - there is more than 2,000 species of fish and 400 species of corals, this is more than 70% of the know species in the world!

Peak Performance Buoyancy

During this dive you will learn Peak Performance Buoyancy fundamentals. It is an ideal opportunity to polish buoyancy control beyond the Open Water Diver level, and for most people this is the dive that improves their diving the most.


Flexible Scheduling of Course Dives

We can do the 5 course dives over 2/3 days, and some people find it more relaxing to mix course dives with fun dives during the time that they are here.

The Advanced Course and Specialty Courses

If you have time, you may want to consider doing a specialty course as well. This is a great way to gain additional experience and skills with extra dives in a particular subject, eg Wreck Diving.

Each dive on the advanced course is the first dive of the specialty course. For example, the deep dive on the advanced course is the first dive of the Deep Diving specialty course. You can therefore continue with some more deep dives to obtain the Deep Diving Specialty.
