PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is designed to build on your existing certification, expanding both your experience and capability underwater.
Rather than classroom-heavy learning, this course is about learning by diving. You’ll complete a series of instructor-led adventure dives that introduce deeper diving, underwater navigation, and a selection of specialist dives tailored to your interests and environment.
On completion, you’ll be certified to dive to 30 metres* worldwide, opening access to a broader range of dive sites, conditions, and experiences.
Whether completed in the UK or as a block course in Europe or Thailand, Advanced Open Water with In The Blue is delivered with a focus on control, awareness, and confident progression.
