The PADI Advanced Course is the next step in increasing your knowledge and developing your skills, to make your diving even safer and more enjoyable. If you're aged 15 or over then you're ready for action. The course consists of 5 dives, each of them explores a new area of diving, like deep diving, wreck diving, navigation or underwater photography. It is a playful course, giving you experience and control in the water by simply diving with different purposes and goals. Bottom line, the course is awesome, and it for sure does not get less special if done on a beautiful tropical island, just like Koh Phi Phi! Together with your instructor, you will have a fun, safe and different course that will be something to remember.
There are many reasons why travelers flog the beaches of Koh Phi Phi. For sure, the island itself is one point. It is tropically lush and has an atmosphere that has its visitors extending their stay again and again. (So be sure to book enough extra nights, or you might have to sleep on the beach!). It is forever LOVED for its white beaches, clustered hippie village atmosphere and the famous parties. But, the diving deserves a great deal of attention too! Around Koh Phi Phi, you will find dive sites that varies tremendously in both topography and marine life. From shallow bays with slowly sloping reefs, to offshore islands with larger walls and mystic caverns, you will not get bored! Jump in with your dive master and explore the corals and its inhabitants. If you look closely, you will find that Koh Phi Phi's dive sites has a great deal of weird macro life that is rare and special to most divers. And, in season, you might get lucky seeing the gracious Manta Rays, but if you don't it's all good. We're sure you'll love the warm blue water and its cool fish life any way! Go go go!
You gotta be out a bit early! Koh Phi Phi is, for good reasons, one of the most popular islands in Thailand. The rooms get completely booked out in peak season, and you will understand why when you get there. The island has everything from the crazy fairy-looking wooden bar on the beach with stunning sunsets to some of the best Thai cuisine we’ve ever tasted. It is hard to describe the narrow little merchant streets that the Phi Phi village is made of, they have to be experienced. And so does the parties. They are hard to find alike! Just remember to wait until you finish your course… cause you will most likely be up all night.
The PADI Advanced Open Water course will get you even more comfortable in the water by simply completing five adventure dives under the supervision of a PADI Instructor. If you're looking to build your confidence and gain more experience, this is the natural next step on the ladder.
The course is designed so you can go straight into it after the Open Water Diver course. The Advanced Open Water Diver course helps you increase your confidence and build your diving skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI instructor. This course builds on what you've learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun diving.
You'll alter your skills by completing 5 adventure dives that introduce you to:
- Underwater navigation
- Deeper water diving (typically anywhere from 18-30 meters)
- A sample of 3 Adventure Dives of your choice
