PADI Advanced Open Water Diver — to 30 metres
For certified parents

Two days that change the rest of the week

If you already dive and your child is doing their course, the Advanced is the most obvious way to use the time. No exam — five dives in the sea, each with its own theme.

Navigation and deep diving are required. You choose the other three: buoyancy control, wreck diving, fish identification, drift diving or underwater photography. After the course you can dive to 30 metres — and many of the most beautiful sites around Hurghada start exactly where the Open Water limit ends.

The practical side effect for families: the Advanced takes two days, your child’s Junior Open Water Diver three to four. So you finish earlier and can follow your child’s last course days from the boat.
