PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver
Expand your skills - discover new things
With the PADI Advanced Open Water course, as an already licensed PADI Open Water Diver (or another organization) you can improve your skills underwater and make new interesting adventure dives such as wreck diving or underwater photography. As a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, you will learn more about pressure and diving up to 30 meters deep as well as navigating underwater.
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (AOWD) course typically lasts 2 to 3 days and includes 5 PADI Adventure dives:
Navigation Dive: In the Navigation Dive, you will learn how to orient yourself underwater. There are essentially two methods for this. You will learn how to use a compass underwater, how to measure distances, and how visual references can assist in underwater navigation. We are fortunate to usually have very good visibility, which makes navigating a bit easier for you. This is a really interesting dive because you get to lead your instructor through the dive site. ;-)
Deep Dive: As a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, you can dive to depths of up to 30 meters. This is likely the main reason many people take the AOWD course. During this dive, we will demonstrate the effects of pressure underwater on your body through interesting experiments, as well as what you need to consider when planning a deep dive.
Dives 3, 4, and 5: After the 2 mandatory adventure dives, you can choose from a variety of adventure dives. We generally recommend the buoyancy dive and a night dive. However, we would be happy to personally advise you at our dive school to select the perfect dives for you. You also have the opportunity to dive the world-famous Zenobia during your PADI Advanced Open Water course. This wreck is considered one of the top 5 wrecks in the world. We can do 2 dives there (a deep dive and a wreck dive).
As a certified Advanced Open Water Diver, you are allowed to dive to a maximum depth of 30 meters.

Beginn with the diving theory!
Start with PADI eLearning
With the PADI eLearning® system you can start with the theoretical part of the course and work at your own pace. This convenient, interactive learning option allows you to learn anytime, anywhere where you have an internet connection.
After completing your eLearning program, you can start directly with the practical part of the course with us (or in any other PADI diving school worldwide). We will deduct the amount paid for this from the course.
More information about the PADI Advanced Open Water Course
We offer our courses in German, English and French. We attach great importance to making you feel comfortable. Because we know it's a big step. Therefore, we always keep our groups as small as possible so that we can take enough time for each one.
How do I get to you?
In front of the dive centre there are free parking spaces and a bus station is only a 2 minute walk away. We also offer transportation from your hotel in the Pernera, Protaras, and Agia Napa region for a small extra cost.
What do I learn in theory and is there an exam?
The theory is rather small in the Advanced Open Water course. But here too we have to discuss a few things. Most of all, you will learn more about the pressure and physical properties of water. However, there are no written exams for the Advanced Open Water Diver course.
Do I need my own equipment?
No of course not. So you don't need to buy or bring any equipment. However, if you already have your own equipment, you can benefit from a 10% discount on your course (base price). With us, however, your equipment is included in the course price.
How deep can I dive as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver?
After your training as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver you can dive with a buddy to a maximum depth of 30 meters.
Junior Advanced Open Water Divers can dive to a maximum depth of 21 meters.
