Advanced Open Water Diving Course (AOWD)

Advanced Open Water Diving Courses on Ko Tao

After completing your Open Water Course, you may want to become more confident underwater, know how to handle yourself underwater, maybe even defeat your fear of deep water or simply get closer to the sharks and other pelagic animals; in this case the PADI Advanced Open Water Course could be your next step! Very much like the Adventure Diver, the advanced open water is comprised of individual adventure dives. An AOW certification is often required of those, who wish to participate on dive orientated cruises like sail and dive, or on live aboard excursions.
Extending your Open Water Certification limit of 18 meters, the AOW course will allow you to dive to a depth of 30 metres. And it is not even necessary to spend a lot of time in the classroom, partaking in long theory sessions! You will learn your lessons with ease by simply reading the sections of the Advanced Diver manual relevant to the dives you are participating on. After reviewing the important points with your diving instructor you’ll be on your way straight into the blue water.
With 5 dives over 2 days, including a deep dive and a navigation dive, you will become capable of exploring even more of the underwater world!

Possible choices for Adventure/Advanced Dives on Koh Tao:

  • Deep dive (compulsory for A.O.W): descend to 30 meters and see the sharks and other marine giants!
