MORE ABOUT OUR ADVANCED OPEN WATER COURSE

Our advanced course will improve your SCUBA technique and introduce you to new diving experiences.

The theory component is digital and students should complete this online prior to the practical sessions at home or in their holiday accomodation. The practical component provides for five dives - all completed while you are with us.
