Ok so now if you’re
looking at these pages you have already begun your own personal
Underwater Journey of discovery, and no doubt already witnessed a
host of amazing new sights and sounds. Yes you have already become
one of the select few Underwater Adventurers out there, but now its
time to build on your experiences and increase your independence and
confidence in the water.
When you completed your
PADI Open Water Diver course you had already acquired all the skills
and information you need to be a safe and competent diver, but as
with any new skills practise really does make perfect. We know and
you know you can do it, but we also know that it’s a very daunting
prospect to simply go it alone and jump right in. This is where the
PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course can help, it is specifically
designed to help develop your confidence in your own abilities and
avoid the stress of having to go it alone quite so soon whilst also
introducing you to many new areas of Scuba Diving itself. |

 Our PADI
Advanced Open Water Diver course is designed to fit immediately
after completion of your PADI Open Water Diver Course, or at any
time thereafter. It’s aim is to ease you more gently into
non-instructional diving, letting you make your own decisions and
plans. Of course under the supervision and guidance of our Training
Team, you are safe in the knowledge that you will be getting it
right. |

We offer this course
throughout the year, pulling together divers from across the
Midlands, from all our training venues. The course is generally
offered at Stoney Cove, the National Inland Diving Centre, and run
over a two day period. On completion of the course you will be
qualified to dive any where around the world, in conditions equal to
or better than those in which you trained, to a recommended maximum
depth of 30m (21m Junior Advanced Open Water Divers) and an absolute
maximum of 40m without the need for Instructor supervision. This
will then open up a whole new area of diving for you, including
spectacular wrecks and larger more majestic ocean going inhabitants. |

  The
course includes 5 dives, all aimed at introducing and perfecting
extra skills that you may need, whilst also allowing you to plan and
conduct your own real dives. A deep dive and navigation dive are
compulsory, however the remaining dives can be elected from almost
any topic you would like. Elective dives include Wreck Dive;
Naturalist Dive; Multi-level Dive; Photography Dive; Search and
Recovery Dive; Peak Performance Buoyancy and Drysuit Dive. To
eliminate all classroom sessions each of your dives and the relevant
information relating to it is covered in your PADI Advanced Open
Water Diver manual, meaning you can again use a self study approach
to bring your knowledge up to speed. Once on dive site this is a
truly hands on course, after briefly reviewing your Dive Knowledge
its time to go over the dive brief and then simply go and continue
your Adventures.
Throughout the course you will be trained directly by our own World
Class Training Team, in the highest quality and expertly maintained
equipment, even including Drysuits for your Open Water Dives.
However as you are now a fully fledged Scuba Diver in your own right
you will need to be appropriately equipped with Dive Watch and Dive
Knife. |

confidence and experience that is gained along with it, is available
