PADI Advanced Open Water Diver

Service Description

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about advancing your skills and your depth rating down the 30m over 2 days of diving. You'll improve your knowledge using e-learning before we hit the water; it's full of great content, videos and can be accessed on any device (even offline). When it's time to hit the water, you'll complete 5 dives in total (the first dive of each respective speciality). Every Advanced Open Water diver has to do the navigation and deep adventure dives but the final 3 are often left to your choosing. If we've learnt a thing or two over the years it's that some combinations are better than others. We'll help you decide during your post booking touch point, but you can normally (some are not always available) choose 3 from the following: Adaptive Support, Delayed Surface Marker Buoy, Dive Against Debris, Dry Suit, Night, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Search & Recovery, Rescue and Wreck Diver. We normally recommend: Night, DSMB and either Drysuit or Search and Recovery. This combination will give you the best skill improvement vs any other (in our opinion). For every specialty adventure dive you complete, you can earn credit towards the relevant PADI specialty certification. Whilst these are not the full specialities it gives you some solid experience, helps you improve your diving and allows you to try different specialities of interest. If you enjoy these taster adventure dives then make sure you speak to us about doing the full speciality. You can even package some of these as bolt-on specialities and save up to 50% ... a no brainer in our book; check out the saver packages option! Remember these adventure dives to do not qualify you for respective limits / activities of these specialities. For example to dive to 40m you must complete the full PADI Deep Speciality course OR to dive regularly in a dry suit you must complete the full PADI Dry Suit Speciality course etc. 2 Day Course - When booking online choose your first day of the course. The 2nd day will normally be the following day, but we'll confirm this after booking. If you choose to bolt on another speciality at a reduced rate, we may need to run this course over 3 days. All equipment, materials and consumables are included. No hidden costs

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations by us: We hate cancelling any course or session but sometimes the weather can mean it is no longer safe or suitable for us to run your session or course. This is especially true for introductory or entry level activities. Scuba diving is a sport which comes with serious risks and the safety of you and our crew is the number one priority. If we have to cancel for any reason, we’ll always look to reschedule in the first instance, credit for another date or offer a refund (minus transaction and course material fees). Where cancellations are made for any reason Dive Arran Ltd will not be liable for any other associated costs you may have incurred such as but not limited to accommodation or travel. Our dive professional's decision is final, and we ask that you respect their experienced judgement in all circumstances. If you attend for an activity having provided false information, having not completed the required e-learning and assessments, not gained medical clearance (if applicable), under the influence (of any substance or impairing medication) or in any other state which means you are not safe or suitable to dive then no refund will be given. Due to the risks posed by this activity we reserve the right to cancel or terminate any session without reason or warning if we deem your conduct puts yourself or others at risk. We recommend that like any activity you ensure you are suitably insured against cancellations. Cancellations by you: We understand that life can change at short notice, and you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance. We’ll always look to help you reschedule your activity but if we can’t then we’re always happy to refund you (minus transaction and course material fees). Please note where less than 24 hours’ notice is given by you then we reserve the right to retain your complete activity payment. Please understand that unlike many activities diving requires planning and equipment preparation that costs us both time and money. We recommend that like any activity you ensure you are suitably insured against cancellations. Extended Courses and Additional Fee's: If you are unable to complete your course in the designated time due to your own performance and need to attend for further dives we reserve the right to add additional teaching and equipment fee's prior to any certification. This includes but is not limited to any remediation instruction from your lack of preparation for continuing education courses, failing to complete all required e-learning modules and assessments, not meeting performance requirements despite reasonable instructional input, failing to gain medical clearance (if applicable) and or any other reason caused by you in relation to a delay to your scheduled session.   Lost and damaged equipment will be chargeable at the current trade rate.
