Performance Requirements

PADI scuba diving certification training is performance-based, not time-based.

• To achieve Advanced Open Water Diver or Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification, you will need to complete (5) Adventure Dives, including the Deep Dive and the Underwater Navigation Dive, and the related (5) Knowledge Reviews in your student manual.

Note: Certain restrictions apply to divers age 12-14. Please contact me for specific information.

Course Format

Advanced Open Water Diver courses are typically conducted at the dive site. Knowledge Reviews are completed by the student diver in advance and reviewed with the instructor at the dive site prior to conducting the training dive. A maximum of (3) training dives are allowed per day. Therefore, the Advanced Open Water Diver certification will require two days.
