More About This Trip
There is no classroom exam and no pool in the Advanced Open Water course — it is five real adventure dives over two to three days, each introducing a new type of diving. Two are fixed: the deep adventure dive (to a maximum of 30 metres) and the underwater navigation dive. The remaining three are chosen with your instructor from options such as wreck, drift, night, peak performance buoyancy, fish identification and underwater photography — and Marsa Alam's site variety means every option is taught on a reef that suits it. The certification extends your licence to 30 metres, a prerequisite for Rescue Diver and for many of the region's spectacular deep sites. Prerequisite: PADI Open Water (or equivalent); minimum age 12.

Dive Safe Package — medical care is on us
Diving with us includes medical care from licensed physicians — before your dive, on the day, and after your trip has ended. If anything comes up once you are back at your hotel, you are still ours to look after: call us and we arrange the doctor, at no extra cost.
A dive medical fitness check before you get in the water is entirely up to you. Some divers simply like the reassurance — say the word and we arrange it with a licensed physician at no extra cost, whenever suits you. And if the physician advises against diving, we refund your booking in full.
