The training consists of five open water dives, which is generally completed over two days in a destination of your preference (various locations for your selection, such as Bali, Bintan, Batam, Pulau Hantu, Pulau Tioman, Pulau Leh etc). Diving groups are small and all sessions are conducted by experienced PADI Instructors.
Other than Pulau Hantu, which requires no overseas travel, we work very closely with our resort partner to facilitate your trip to the respective destinations. For your reference, Pulau Tioman will take a full weekend to complete the course while destinations such as Bali will take around 4D3N.

FAQ
It’s been some time since my last dive, can I take the AOW course?
If you feel unconfident, we recommend you take the Scuba Refresher session with us, a 1 pool session to review diving basic skills.
I’ve just completed my open water diver certification, should I wait some time before I take AOW?
There is absolutely no need to wait. Once you’re open water certified you can take the advanced open water course anytime you like.
Is there as much studying as OW course for the AOW course?
Not at all, there is very limited studying and preparations. The advanced open water course is a practical training where we primarily focus on achieving specific objectives and completing the essential skills.

Yes, you can combine the Nitrox specialty with the advanced open water course and we offer a discount discount should you decide to sign up both courses together! Enquire to find out more!
