Advanced Open Water Diver

FRENCH and ENGLISH instructor 

The Advanced Open Water AOW/Level 2 - 30 m course takes place over two days and includes five dives.

The Advanced Open Water course costs 10,000 THB.

During these 5 dives, you will cover 5 different topics:

Deep diving to 30 metres, wreck diving, navigation and underwater orientation, neutral buoyancy and BCD management, and night diving.

On the first day, from 10:00 to 10:45 in the morning, you will have a theory lesson in the classroom.

At around 11:00, we will board the boat and you will do your first dive on buoyancy, which will last 45 minutes and include exercises on managing your buoyancy compensator.

We will return to the boat and have lunch (included in the price).

You will have a debriefing of the dive, then we will do the second dive, which will be dedicated to discovering wrecks and safety rules.

The boat will return to port around 5:30pm.

You will leave on the boat at 6:30 p.m. for your last dive, a night dive. Equipped with torches, you will explore the seabed in new conditions.

During the day, from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., you will have another theory lesson.

At 11:00 a.m., we will board the boat for two dives, one dedicated to underwater orientation using a compass and reading underwater maps, and the second where you will descend to between 20 and 30 metres in order to validate your 30-metre level
