PADI - ADVANCED OPEN WATER DIVER COURSE

During the Advanced Open Water Diver course, you will complete five different Adventure Dives.

An Adventure Dive concentrates on a particular activity or skill within the realm of scuba – it is the first dive of a Specialty Diver course.

The dives in the Advanced Open Water course are very different from those in your Open Water course. The Adventure Dives are similar to a regular dive, except you focus on a particular diving specialty.

 

The Deep Adventure Dive of the course involves diving deeper, between 18m-30m. During the Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive, you practise navigation and compass skills underwater while diving.

ABC PHUKET DIVING strongly recommend that each Guest purchases comprehensive accident, medical, baggage and trip cancellation/interruption insurance when space is reserved.

Please be advised that if Guest chooses NOT to purchase the trip insurance, we will not be responsible for any financial disappointment caused by reasons beyond our control.

We also recommend that Guests ensure that they have adequate diving insurance.

We first provide a mandatory basic Thailand insurance that covers boat and scuba incidents for diving day trips and courses. Please note that this is a pay-and-claim insurance, where you pay the medical facility in advance and then claim back the expenses (this is a common practice in Thailand).

We offer our students complimentary support from reputable diving insurance companies like DAN, Dive Assist, or Dive Assure, depending on the courses they choose.
