What Your Day Looks Like



E-Learning


Start your underwater adventure before you step on the island and skip the classroom with PADI eLearning. 

The eLearning lets you study the theory at your own pace—online or offline, anytime, anywhere. You will learn key diving concepts and terminology on your computer or mobile device, at a time that fits your schedule. Got questions? We are only a message away.

eLearning time commitment: 7-12 hours


Day 1, 2 & 3


The PADI Advanced Open Water Course is designed to be highly adaptable and cater to each student. You will participate in six ocean dives over three days, each with a specific emphasis. Two of these dives will focus on underwater navigation and deep diving, and two will focus on Enriched Air Nitrox. You will develop new skills and learn to handle these advanced concepts. 

Furthermore, you will have the freedom to select two additional adventure dives. We highly recommend including peak performance buoyancy as one of your choices, while other popular options here are wreck diving, night diving, drift diving, and underwater photography.


Classroom session


Before diving with Enriched Air Nitrox, you will participate in a classroom session essential for teaching divers how to use enriched air (Nitrox) safely. It lasts about one hour and covers key topics.

In this session, you will learn how breathing Nitrox differs from breathing regular air. It covers oxygen toxicity and the benefits of Nitrox, like longer bottom times and lower risks of decompression sickness. 

Students also learn how to use dive tables and computers for Nitrox diving. The session highlights how to analyze Nitrox mixtures and plan dives to stay safe. By the end of the classroom session, you should feel more confident about your Nitrox dives.
