PADI Advanced Open Water Course
About This Experience
Ready to take your diving to the next level? Dive Oahu's PADI Advanced Open Water Course Honolulu is exactly what you need. This comprehensive two-day certification program runs over a weekend – Saturday 7:30-11:30 AM and Sunday 7:30 AM-1 PM – giving you intensive hands-on experience with five specialized Adventure Dives.
Saturday kicks off with a 7:00 AM classroom session, then you're out on the water by 8:00 AM for two shallow charter dives. Sunday ramps up with three tanks: one deep dive plus two shallow dives where you'll put your new skills to work. Your Adventure Dives cover Deep Diver, Underwater Navigation, Rescue Diver, Dive Against Debris, and Peak Performance Buoyancy specialties – each one building your confidence while logging valuable bottom time.
What I love about this PADI Advanced Open Water Course Honolulu is how it pushes you into different diving specialties under expert PADI Instructor supervision. You're not just checking boxes; you're actually enhancing both your safety and enjoyment underwater. Everything's included – scuba equipment, eLearning materials, and all three boat charters.
You'll need your PADI Open Water Diver certification and must meet physical health requirements to join. Just bring swimwear and towels since all diving gear is provided. The group rate starts from $499 per person, making it accessible for serious divers ready to advance.
Planning is key – cancellations need 48-hour notice, and those eLearning codes can't be refunded once opened. If life happens, makeup sessions are available for an additional fee, and course protection options give you scheduling flexibility. This program perfectly bridges the gap between basic certification and more challenging underwater adventures.
