PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course Details
Move up and experience real adventure with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course.
As you step beyond the PADI Open Water Diver level, you make five dives and have the opportunity to try some of diving’s most rewarding and useful specialty activities, such as deep diving, digital underwater photography, underwater navigation and much more.
These skills make diving much more than underwater sightseeing. Plus, the Advanced Open Water Diver course takes you one step closer to Master Scuba Diver – the ultimate non professional certification in recreational diving.
With your PADI Instructor you complete the deep and underwater navigation Adventure Dives.
These dives boost your confidence as you build these foundational skills.
Then, you choose three additional Adventure dives to complete your PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course.
Dive site
Our dive center is based just next to the sea. Our local dive site is full of different fish, octopus and more with crystal water and very good visibility at max depth 17m.
Shore diving is an affordable and adventurous way to explore the underwater world. The appeal of shore diving is often its flexibility and convenience without the need for boat logistics, the sites can be visited at most times of day.
Our dive site is ideal for all sorts of dive training, novices, divers who need refresh and advanced divers.
Slow and easy entry from the beach, where we meet a sandy flat plateau from 0-5m depth, pool like conditions, where we can practice our breathing, swimming and buoyancy which is important and safe for novices and divers who haven't dived for a while.
Less than 5 min swimming from our entry point and passing the plateau is following a slow and gentle slope up to 12-13 m where we meet a second plateau up to 17-18m deep. There among others you can see replicas of Greek statues standing on the seabed, an excellent spot for photos.
The dive site bottom is composed of sand, rock, sea grass and Posidonia oceanica fields. The underwater life is surprisingly rich for a shore dive.
Typical aquatic life while scuba diving in Kos: octopus, rockfish, scorpion fish, nudibranchs, macro life, schools of fish, all kinds of breams, triggerfish, stingrays, cuttlefish, small groupers, lionfish and much more.
Occasional sightings of amberjacks hunting out in the blue, small tunas and Mediterranean barracudas.
Some species that you will be able to observe are unique to our sea (endemic species) and some of them Lessepsian immigrants from the Red sea.
