The PADI Advanced Open Water course is the next step in your diving education after the PADI Open Water course.

This course is about adventure and increasing your confidence in the water. When you’re done, you’ll be qualified to dive to 30 metres, and you’ll have a host of new dive skills under your belt.

The Advanced course is a must for Cape Town divers – with it you’ll be able to explore our many wrecks and deep reefs, and – if you choose to do a photography dive – you’ll be equipped to photograph what you see! Night diving in False Bay is a magnificent experience, and fish identification is a pleasure given the array of marine species under the ocean on our doorstep.

Choose three adventure dives from this list to do in addition to a deep dive and a navigation dive, and you’re on your way!

• AWARE Fish Identification Dive
