Increase your knowledge, experience and confidence with the Advanced Open Water Certification. Successful completion certifies the diver to a maximum depth of 30m.
For this you'll be pleased to know that there are no quizzes, exams or pool sessions....just some short chapters to read in the AOW manual and a knowledge review for each..
We normally do the Night Dive and the Deep Dive which means that after the weekend you will be qualified to do night dives and dives down to (30 - 40m) with a buddy. If you can complete the relevant knowledge reviews prior to the trip for these two Adventure Dives that saves a lot of time on the trip.
Depending on what else is happening on the boat we usually try to do some of the other three Adventure Dives necessary to complete the requirements of AOW qualification (one of these three has to be navigation).
These dives need to be done as part of a trip, and that depending upon the trip depends on what adventure dives are available
