Looking to improve your skills and take it to the next level? Come to Cebu! We got you covered, we have flexible packages that suits your preference. Our Advanced Open Water course is tailored to be the perfect combination of adventure dives that delivers value to you as a certified scuba diver. Scuba diving is an activity that is reserved for certified divers. Some dives and dive sites prove to be more challenging for Open Water certified divers due to depths, environment, conditions and other factors that require more intermediate training. Getting certified as PADI AOW means that you can train and prepare to dive in some challenging conditions.
The term “advanced” is a relative term. It is used in the context of what a diver has experienced in terms of dive environment, conditions, depths, and possibly different dive configuration or breathing gas mix relative to the open water course. This means that someone coming out of their open water certification can immediately take the advanced course because it is better to try new environment, greater depth, or new configuration with an instructor to guide you, impart knowledge and experience to you. This is a lot better than learning these things on your own, or with other divers, as you gain more dives.
Not a certified diver yet? No problem! We have created an add-on that you can conveniently bundled both Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses that you can comfortably complete in just 4 days! At Dive Funatics, we offer three options to become a certified PADI Advanced Open Water Diver.
Dive Funatics’ booking system is automated, and real time. You can choose your schedule, your courses, packages. Once you book successfully, your eLearning access will be sent to you automatically. Your schedule is booked, and the number of subsequent booking for the same date will be reduced accordingly to ensure that we do not oversell our schedules. It is our conscious decision to limit our students so everyone gets the best attention that our instructors can accord to anyone on that class. We like to run courses even for just one student.
