Advanced Open Water Diver Course – Full-Day Diving Training

Expand your diving skills across five adventure modules and earn your international certification.

The Advanced Open Water Diver Course is a structured training programme designed for certified level-2 divers who want to develop confidence and competence across a wider range of underwater environments and conditions.

The course combines online theoretical preparation with five hands-on adventure dives, giving participants a practical foundation in areas such as deep diving, underwater navigation, buoyancy control, wreck diving, and search and recovery. Each module is taught at your own pace, with flexible scheduling available on weekends, weekday evenings, or during working hours.

This programme is run with as few as one participant at no additional cost, making it a highly accessible option for those who prefer personalised instruction or have limited availability to join group sessions.

Course runs with a minimum of one participant — no need to wait for a group to form.

Flexible scheduling options including weekends, weekday evenings, and working hours.

All necessary diving equipment and study materials are provided throughout the course.
