PADI Advanced Open Water Diver – Dive Deeper, Discover More
The Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about improving your diving skills (Advanced Diver). Practiced for this purpose are navigation, buoyancy and deep diving, and you do three more special dives of your choice (something like a “specialty plate” from which you choose this and that). Each of your specialty dives can count toward the corresponding PADI® certification of a specialty course.
Here are some of the many possibilities: Deep, Digital Underwater Photographer, Enriched Air Nitrox, Fish Identification, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Search and Recovery, Underwater Naturalist, Underwater Navigation, and Wreck Diver.

The minimum age to start an Advanced Open Water Diver course is 12 years.
- Divers who are at least 15 years old receive the Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
- Divers ages 12-14 receive a Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
- Divers ages 10-11 can earn a Junior Adventure Diver certification; once they turn 12, they can complete the deep dive and earn a Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
Once Junior Advanced Open Water Divers are 15 years old, they automatically become Advanced Open Water Divers. Any replacement certification or eCard purchased after a diver’s 15th birthday will automatically show Advanced Open Water Diver (rather than “Junior”).
