WHAT DOES THE PADI ADVANCED COURSE ONLINE COVER?

The PADI Advanced Course Online covers 7 Adventure dive sections, these include the subjects of Boat, Deep, Night, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Underwater Naturalist, Underwater Navigation and Wreck. The course must include 5 sections, the Deep and Navigation dive sections are compulsory, the other 3 sections you can choose. Some of the sections may not be available in your area (eg) Ice Diving in Tenerife.

WHY 7 SECTIONS AND NOT 5, AND WHAT IF I WANT TO DO OTHER SECTIONS?

After surveying PADI Members worldwide, these were the most commonly sections offered. As most of sections are fairly short it is not inconvenient to ask eLearners to complete two additional sections beyond the five required for certification. You will have access to a digital copy of the Adventures in Diving manual online, if there are other sections that are of more interest to you, please contact your Instructor or Dive centre to ensure they are able to offer these choices.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM COMPLETING THIS COURSE?

The course is designed for anyone who wants to progress beyond the PADI Open Water diver course by learning new experiences with the comfort of having an Instructor closeby. After all the knowledge development and inwater sections have been completed you will be certified to dive to 30 metres (this limit is 21 metres for Junior Advanced Open water divers).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

After enrolling, PADI´s eLearning system presents you with interactive presentations that include videos, audio, graphics and reading. Once you have completed the Online course an ELearning record can be printed which verifies successful completion of all sections and associated Knowledge Reviews. There is no Final Exam for the PADI Advanced Course and you don´t need a Quick Review like Entry Level Divers.

WHAT ELSE IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE COURSE?

Prior to certification as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver you must complete 5 open water training dives that relate to the sections in the manual.

David and Yvonne at Tenerife Dive hope that you can come over and complete the inwater training parts of the course with us but of course understand that time and cost make it not always possible. We have many Instructor partners in various parts of the UK that we can put you in contact with or alternatively if you have a preferred PADI dive centre local to you, just print out the completion form and take that along to the PADI Instructor.

WHAT DOES IT COST?

The course fee for the PADI Advanced Open Water online is 73.00 pounds, non refundable, if the Access Pass is purchased through Tenerife Dive. This includes the final certification after all the theory and inwater training parts have been completed. Not included are the 5 open water dives and where applicable any equipment hire.

HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE THE PADI eLEARNING COURSE?

The eLearning course will be available online for 12 months from the date of course registration.

HOW DO YOU GET STARTED?

Very easy, just email Yvonne and ask for an ACCESS PASS for the Advanced Open Water Online Course. If you wish to pay by Bank Transfer she will send back the details, or if you wish to pay by Credit Card we just need the number and expiry date. A Link to the PADI website and instructions on how to get started will be sent with the Access Pass. If you wish to purchase the Access Pass as a gift for someone else, no problem just let me know the name and if you wish to add any message, we can either send this back to you for forwarding or can send direct if you supply the email address.

 

Before any inwater training, a PADI self certified medical form must be fully completed, if a doctors approval is required this must be obtained prior to the inwater training.
