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.

PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course — questions divers ask

How much does this trip cost?
It costs €243 per person.
What is included in the price?
PADI instructor & materials; All dive equipment; 5 adventure dives on Marsa Alam sites.
What is the minimum age?
Divers must be at least 12 years old.
Do I need a diving certification?
No — this is a certification course, and no previous experience is required for entry-level courses. A PADI instructor guides you through every step.
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes — free transfer to and from all hotels within Hurghada. Hotels in Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh and El Gouna have a small transfer surcharge.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your trip date.
Is this the same as the AOWD course?
Yes. AOWD is simply the everyday abbreviation for PADI Advanced Open Water Diver — the same course and the same certification.
How many days does this course take?
3 days. Sessions run in the morning and you are free every afternoon, so the course fits comfortably inside a normal holiday week.
When is the best time to dive in Marsa Alam?
All year round — the Red Sea has no closed season. Water runs from about 22°C in February to 30°C in August, and March–May and September–November bring the most comfortable mix of warm water, light wind and good visibility. Winter diving is excellent too; you simply want a thicker wetsuit.
Are there any extra costs?
Everything in the price is listed on this page, and so is everything that is not. Payable locally: PADI certification card fee (€80); Marine park fee (paid locally). When you compare with another centre, check whether their price includes the certification — many quote the course alone and add the manual and certification separately.
