Become a PADI Advanced Open Water diver
The PADI Advanced Open Water course is a fun
introduction to the many specialty areas of diving. There are 3 “core”
specialty areas:
Navigation: Dives are safer and
more enjoyable when you are able to find your way to and from the dive site.
Hence we will learn the essential skill of navigating effectively, both by
compass and using natural aids.
Night Diving: The underwater
world changes dramatically at night and holds a special fascination for many
divers, anyone who has watched the myriads of filter feeders scouring the ocean
floor will testify to this. The course aims to teach the different techniques
and knowledge required for night diving.
Deep Diving: There is a certain
mystery and excitement associated with deeper diving, however diving below 18m
safely requires added skills and knowledge. After learning the essentials in the
classroom we will put them into practice on a deep boat dive.
In addition there are two specialty dives:
Search & Salvage: If you are
a diver, search and recovery is inevitable. The Advanced course teaches the
techniques required to recover various objects ranging from precious small items
to larger ones such as boat motors. Aside from being useful this module is a lot
of fun.
Multi-level Diving: A new era in
dive planning that allows us to maximise our time underwater. Here we will learn
how to use the PADI Wheel - the first dive table designed for multi-level
diving. This new knowledge will be put into practice with a great multi-level
dive off one of the five islands off Wollongong.
The PADI Advanced Open Water course is a great way to learn
while having lots of fun.
