The PADI Advanced Openwater course is a five dive program.

When you have completed your deep adventure dive, underwater navigation dive and three other adventure dives for a total of five dives, you will have earned your advanced open water diver certification. You will now be certified to a new maximum dive depth of 30 meters.

When you have completed your advanced qualification you’ll be more experienced, feel more comfortable in the water and simply enjoy diving more because you will have more experience and a better understanding of the underwater environment. Many divers choose the advanced open water diver course immediately after completing their open water certification to spend more time with their scuba diving instructor and to gain insight into some of the many varied paths your diving interests might follow.

The advanced diver certification will make sure that you are not left out when the others are doing the deeper dives but will give you the confidence when it comes to the more challenging dives that some areas may offer. Some of the more popular elective dives that students choose are night dive, peak-performance buoyancy dive, enriched air nitrox dive, wreck dive and naturalist/fish identification dive but there are several others to choose from.

As with all courses at Pisces Divers, the maximum number of students per instructor is four per course.

Ignore any negative reviews! Perfect organisation from start to finish 😃 Very safe, organised, fun diving. Anyone moaning about being cold should research SA diving before booking 😂

Really professional and experienced dive centre, with great kit for the cold water. We really enjoyed diving with them, and would definitely do so again, without thinking twice. Great knowledge of the local fish and plant life and it was nice having the time at the end of the dive to go through what we saw. Highly recommend!

Enrolling in the 1 year Career Development Programme at Pisces Divers has been a truly transformative experience, that has turned my quiet, unsure matriculant into a passionate diver with professional skills. My son didn't just learn to dive; he mastered becoming a valuable asset to a hands-on, thriving business. The mentorship from Koen's experienced team fostered a very supportive community that built immense confidence in a teen needing direction and purpose. Thank you Koen and Team Pisces 👏👏👏👏👏 #proudmum #best11months

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Besuch und können diese Tauchschule wirklich von Herzen empfehlen! 🤿💙 Man fühlt sich hier als Kunde sofort willkommen und merkt, dass sich für jeden einzelnen Gast wirklich Zeit genommen wird. Die Beratung ist persönlich, kompetent und mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Besonders begeistert waren wir von der perfekten Maskenberatung. Mein Mann hatte bisher immer Probleme, eine wirklich passende Maske zu finden. Hier wurde sich extra viel Zeit genommen und so lange ausprobiert und beraten, bis die perfekte Maske gefunden war. 🙌 Auch die deutsche Mitarbeiterin aus Augsburg können wir absolut empfehlen – super freundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit!

Great experience with a fantastic team! We had a lot of fun, always felt safe, and the equipment was in great condition. We also completed the Nitrox course, which was explained very clearly and professionally. Highly recommended!
