Advanced Open Water
April 12, 2026 - April 15, 2026
This class will take place in Bonaire.
Exploration, Excitement, Experiences. They’re what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. And no, you don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed so you can go straight into it after the PADI Open Water Diver course.
The Advanced Open Water Diver course helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in the water.
This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. This course builds on what you’ve learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun scuba diving.
The Advanced Open Water certification removes the Open Water Certifications 60 foot depth limit.
When you complete this certification you will be qualified to dive up to 100 feet deep.
You’ll hone your skills by completing five adventure dives that introduce you to:
– Underwater Navigation diving
– Peak Performance diving,
– Deeper water diving (typically anywhere from 60-100 feet),
– Rescue diving
– Search and Recovery diving
