Should I gain this certification as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver?
After your Open Water Course and your Five Dives and theory lessons, you'll be more experienced, feel more comfortable and at home in the water and simply start enjoying diving more because you will have a better understanding of the underwater environment and the equipment required for safe diving practices.
What do I need to start this Advanced Course at Essex Scuba Diving?
The Course Pre-requirements are that you should have a PADI Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization), and that you should be a minimum age of 15 years (although 12 years as a PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver).
What dives will I do while on my Advanced course?
This certification requires that you complete in total five Adventure Dives, including the Deep and Underwater Navigator dives plus choose three of the following: Dry Suit Diving, DPV(Dive Propulsion Vehicle), Multilevel Diving, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Search and Recovery, Underwater Naturalist, Underwater Videographer, Underwater Photography, Project AWARE Fish Identification, Wreck Diver. All Diving courses are taught in Essex.
How long will the Advanced SCUBA diving course take?
It varies from person to person as we like to teach at a pace comfortable for each individual student, however we recommended the dive theory and knowledge developments take approximately 15 hours to complete. The minimum Open Water SCUBA Diver Training part of the course is five dives over two days. These dives are conducted at our local UK diving locations, although we are always looking for available dive sites here in Essex.
What will I need to complete the Advanced Diver SCUBA Certificate from PADI?
Course materials consist of the Adventures in Diving Crew-Pak which contains a comprehensive manual, Adventures in Diving DVD or Video which is an excellent and very relaxed way of learning. A Log Book (your logbook from your Open Water course will be fine) will also be required so you can keep recording your diving history, and will be personally stamped by your Instructor after each dive, you will also have to sign your PADI Instructor's Logbook too!
These course materials are supplied to you direct and are included in your course costs.
