PADI | SSI Advanced Open Water Course Phuket
2 days / 6 boat dives - 11900 baht
Continue your diving education with ACDC Diving in Phuket and get an access to 30 meter dives with SSI Advanced Adventurer or PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Certification!
Most of the beautiful reefs and shipwrecks are laying deeper than 18 meters, so you need to learn how to dive safely to a bigger depth. AOWD course is designed to enhance divers' confidence and proficiency while exploring new diving environments and activities. During the course you will do 5 Adventure Dives + 1 extra dive.
What does the PADI AOWD/SSI AA course consist of?
Our Advanced level diving training consists of 2 days during which you will do 6 boat dives at the different locations. While the minimum requirement for the AOW course is just 5 dives we offer an extra dive which is very useful especially if you haven't been diving recently.
First day of the course we do at Racha Islands where we start with a refresh dive followed by Underwater Navigation and Perfect Buoyancy dives.
Second day of the course we will go to King Cruiser - Shark Point - Koh Doc Mai dive sites for Wreck, Drift and Deep dives.
You will learn how to plan your deep dives and manage narcosis, how to find your way underwater and move in the water efficiently (even in strong currents). Our instructors will also pay extra attention to your buoyancy control and finning techniques to make you a good diver.
Who can take the AOWD course?
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver/SSI Advanced Adventurer course is open to holders of an Open Water Diver certificate or equivalent certification from another training organization.
If you have had a significant break from diving, we recommend making two or three dives before starting the course.
Children 12-14 years old who successfully complete the program will receive a PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certificate. There is a depth limitation for kids - 21 meters for divers aged 13-14 years and 12 meters for 11-12 years old.
