PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course
The PADI Advanced Open Water (AOW) Diver course is a great way to further improve your scuba diving skills and to start diving deeper, safely. The PADI Advanced Open Water course qualifies the scuba diver to dive to a depth of 30m (for those aged 14 years, or less, this is reduced to 21m) compared to the 18m of the PADI Open Water Diver course.
Take your PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course with Paradise Diving Plus in the tropical waters off Phuket, Similan, Malaysia and enjoy a high quality, safe and enjoyable scuba diving course!
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course consists of five (5) ocean dives of which two (2) of them must be Deep Diving and a Underwater Navigator.
