PADI ADVANCED OPEN WATER COURSE

Our PADI Advanced Open Water Course is a two day course and includes five dives from one of our vessels on the Ningaloo Reef and we can begin any day. 

For the Advanced Course, you will do Deep and Navigation plus three electives.  Electives you can choose may include some of the following: Underwater Photography, Underwater Naturalist, Boat Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Search & Recovery or Fish ID. 

We need a minimum of two students to conduct the course (some extra fees may apply). If it is just you we can register you in our file as a person who is interested and try to find another person to do the course with you. Or you my chose to pay extra for a 1 on 1 course

We include the use of mask, snorkel, fins, wetsuit, BCD, regulator, tanks, weights, all of your tank fills, complimentary pick up and drop off to your in-town Exmouth accommodation and your certification fees.  Also the PADI Adventures in
Diving Manual is included and is yours to keep. Each student for our Advanced Course must have the following: Open Water or equivalent certification card, a log book, a timing device and a logged dive from within the past 12 months. 
If you do not have a current dive history, you will need to do one of our Refresher sessions before your course. Depending on which electives you choose you might need to bring some specialty items such as a slate for writing underwater
or a camera for the photography elective ( sometimes we can organise camera hire). Just check when booking what extra items you might need.

If you haven't had a dive from within the past 12 months, you will need to complete a refresher with us before commencing the course.  Refresher sessions are a simple review of basic dive planning, equipment, theory and dive skills.  These sessions usually take around1.5-3 hours and include time in the pool, so you will need to wear your bathers and bring a towel.  We schedule our refreshers daily and advanced bookings are required.

You do not need to have a diving medical for the Advanced Course but you must answer our medical questionaire.  If you do have answered Yes to any questions, you may need to arrange a diving medical and they can be hard to get in Exmouth, so we recommend having a look through the attached medical questionnaire and getting any necessary medicals done before arrival.  We cannot refund course fees if you cannot get a medical and need one.

We reserve the right to alter or cancel specific dives/tours/courses without notice due to weather, sea conditions, minimum numbers or other factors. We always recommend that you travel with flexibility in your itinerary and with travel insurance – please contact your local travel agent for details on the best travel insurance for your travel needs.
