Advanced Open Water Diver

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course with FISHEYE Scuba!

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 Padi 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.

You'll hone your skills by completing five adventure dives that introduce you to:

• Underwater navigation
• Deeper water diving (typically anywhere from 18-30 metres/ 60-100 feet)
• An introduction to three more Adventure Dives of your choice (Choose from 15 types of Adventure Dives to complete your course. You can try your hand at Digital Underwater Photography, Wreck Diving, Night Diving, Search and Recovery and much more.)

It's just a few simple steps:

• Choose your Class Dates & Location below.   Private lessons available for additional fees to accommodate scheduling conflicts or to rush the process.

Covid -19 related Issues:

We use social distancing as much as possible in our courses, and all our gear is disinfected after each use.  Covid has been shown to be inactive in chlorinated water. Class sizes have been reduced to 4-5 students, and orientation is now 1 on 1, instead of in a group setting.

How It Works

After you pay for the course, elearning will be sent directly from PADI.  Complete the elearning, and bring the completed printout to FishEye Scuba at your scheduled appointment. Padi recomends allowing for 8 hours, but we frequently see students complete the course in as little as 4 hours.

Set an appointment for your 1 on 1 orientation, a few days to a week prior to the start of your course, go over details of the class, answer questions, make sure paperwork is complete and in order, and pick up your Crewpack,

Open Water Dates are determined by weather, class, time of year, local events, etc.  Dives usually start about 8am, and run into the early afteroon, with a debriefing and log book signing.
