PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course

Do you want to experience real adventure? You can with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course.
The PADI Advanced Open Water Course "Adventures in Diving" program, is the next step beyond the Open Water Certification. The aim of this course is to expand on your knowledge and skills gained in your Open Water Course, and to develop more confidence to broaden your diving horizons.
As You step beyond the PADI Open Water level, you make five dives and have the opportunity to try some of diving's most rewarding and useful specialty activities

1)Deep Dive
Experience the excitement and wonder of what lies below 18 meters. You will gain the experience of diving to 30 meters below the surface. This will allow you to explore otherwise unseen sights such as wrecks, caves and more.
2)Underwater Navigation
Ever wondered how an experienced diver finds their way around a dive site so easily? On the Underwater Navigation dive you will learn some of the secrets of navigation, including compass use and using the natural environment to assist you. You will never be lost again!

3)Night Dive
Just as the marine life changes from season to season, it also changes from day to night. Many fish seldom seen during the day come out at night allowing you to explore a whole new world. A big misconception about diving at night is that you can not see a thing! Wrong - just as your eyes adjust to a dark room at night, they will do the same underwater. The Night Dive is commonly regarded by divers as the most rewarding Adventure Dive

4)Underwater Naturalist
This dive will allow you to examine the relationship between marine creatures and their surrounding environment. You will learn to identify some of the fish, plants and animals that you see regularly, and how your interactions affect their behavior.

5)Wreck Dive
Dive on some of Brisbane's most famous wrecks discovering not only the stunning structures rising above the ocean floor but also the amazing marine life calling these wrecks home. Our Advanced Open Water Diver courses are conducted on board "Big Cat Reality", a 24 meter catamaran with wide decks and a stable dive platform.

 "Big Cat" offers 2 day/2 night live aboard trips departing on Friday evenings allowing eight to ten dives in the beautiful Moreton Bay Marine Park, before returning Sunday afternoon. "Big Cat" is surveyed for 225 passengers but takes only 24 divers on an adventurous weekend with all of the diving, food and fun that you can handle. For those who are unable to dedicate a full weekend to the course, Go Dive offers the option of completing the required dives over three days on our day boat, the "Straddie Explorer"
