Advanced Open Water Course

Ready to jump into the deeper end? (ha, good one I know, I just high-fived myself for you)

The Advanced Open Water Certification allows you to dive up to 30 meters deep anywhere in the world. The program comprises of 5 dives, one from 5 different specialties. Two are mandatory: deep dive and navigation. This way you'll know where you are going and how going deeper will affect your body. The other three dives can come from different specialties like night dive, nitrox, photography, fish ID & more.

You'll do all this with your amazing instructor who will help with any questions or problems even if you just want to know how many drinks is too many once you’ve completed the course. The answer is 10, maybe? (The lawyers have asked us to put a note here stating that we are in no way pushing drinking after you have completed your course and blah blah blah…..they said some other stuff, but I fell asleep)

Open Water Diver Certification
Medical questionnaire

  • An amazing instructor
  • Full gear rental
  • Academic sessions
  • 5 open water dives
  • Dive computer rental
  • Digital material
  • Certification card
  • Insurance package
  • Marine park or national park fees

*Our Pricing Promise is that there are never any extra fees that are not shown to you. No hidden park fees or other nonsense.

Once you pass the course (because you're brilliant of course) you will be able to dive at any centre around the world up to a depth of 30 meters. You'll always be paired with other divers and be taken by a guide.

You won't have to do any pool session or practice your skills as long as you dive at least once a year.

The certificate never expires but if it's been a while since you have gone out, you may need to do a refresher before the next time you dive just to make sure your skills are still sharp.

Your diving journey starts with the Open Water Diver Course which certifies you to up to 18 meters.

Some dive school say small group sizes and will stick you with 6 or even 8 to 1 instructor just because diving standards allow them to.

We chose our dive centre partners because they maintain higher safety standards and one of the most important ones for us is small group sizes so you'll never be in a group of more than 4 to 1 instructor for your course.

The course includes academic material and sometimes videos that can be accessed via an App on your phone.

You can even start studying this material before you arrive to the location you are doing your course. That way you have evening and nights free to enjoy since you are on holiday afterall!

Check the location page of where you want to do the course as we may offer packages that include accommodation or we will have some places that we can recommend that are nearby the dive centre.

Not a chance. Our goal is not to charge you more when you can go directly and find your own place to go diving.

We have agreements with our dive centre partners in which they reimburse us to pay for our staff pizza dinners and beers. (that'll all we do this for)

Our Pricing Promise also means that there is full transparency in what you see. We don't hide marine park fees or other random stupid things that companies will sometimes not be upfront about. If you have to pay it, we will let you know so you can make your decision with the full information!

We are awesome, that's why!

No but in all seriousness, it's because we love what we do. Every dive centre partner we work with has been personally checked by our team. That means we know the team, we know the managers who run the show and we've also personally been diving with them at some point.

We do confidential feedback checks on all the guests we send and also do our own research to make sure they always stay up to our standards.

Some other companies don't take any actual responsibility for the quality of the bookings they offer but we are not like them.

By having access to multiple dive centres, we can help meet everyone's need when it comes to things such as language requirements, date requirement, agency choice and more options for dive sites.

And finally, our team is lovely. Jump onto WhatsApp and say hello and see for yourself!

You'll always know who you are chatting with and since we are all over the world, you might even meet us in person.

Please don’t be sad. I was pretty tired when I wrote all this so maybe I missed it. OR it’s more likely that your question is so brilliant and amazing that I could never think of it. Chat with us!

The Advanced Course consists of 5 dives done over 2 or 3 days depending on the location. You'll do one dive from 5 different specialties. Deep Dive and Navigation Dive are mandatory and then you get to choose the other ones.

The exact schedule in each location and dive centre can vary a little bit but this is a good reference for the general program.

Right or left at the big fish? You'll learn how to use a compass and natural navigation.

Learning how to go as deep as 30 meters requires new considerations.

Spend longer at depth without worrying about your No-Deco limits. 

Let's see how good you are at drawing what you find underwater and matching it to the marine life book to find some names for your cool new friends.

Grab a torch/flashlight and see things in a whole new way. 

The kind of diving that requires very little effort. Learn how to sit back and watch the underwater world go by you.

Buoyancy (fancy word for floating) is super important and this program will teach you the best techniques so that you can look like an expert underwater

Learn about the fish and also the coral that exists underwater.

YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS

Hear what some of our fans are saying about us:

I just wanted to write and say that we had such an amazing experience diving with your team in Thailand. Loved every minute, you can really tell they all care about what they do and it was super helpful having someone on the chats ready to help us with any questions.

It was suprising how easy the process was! Everything is so well automated but if you have questions, the crew seems to just always be online ready to help! We booked a diving course as well as some private tours with them and have been so happy with all of it. Thank you again to all of you!

We booked our Open Water Diver course recently and Go Diving really helped us choose the best place. We had an amazing time learning how to dive in Gili T and loved every moment of it. Can't wait to do our next course and we will definitely message Go Diving again!

The team at GoDiving was so helpful when answering any questions we had. We were a bit nervous about booking a scuba course after having a bad experience but they helped create a plan to help us build our confidence and then a week later we became certified divers and love our new hobby so much!
