How to Become an Advanced Open Water Diver

Learn about underwater navigation, deep diving and three types of specialty diving that interest you. After some skill practice with your instructor, you'll make five open water dives. There's no exam because this course is truly about having fun and gaining experience.

Step 1

PADI eLearning

Advanced Open Water Diver eLearning includes interactive lessons on 13 popular specialty dives: altitude, boat, digital underwater imaging, drift, dry suit, fish ID, night, buoyancy, search and recovery, underwater naturalist, and wreck diving. You'll study deep and navigation diving plus three specialties of your choosing.
  • eLearning time commitment: 6-8 hours
Step 2

With Your Instructor

The course includes five dives: a deep dive below 18m/60f, a navigation dive, and three specialty dives. Gain experience, build confidence, and discover your diving abilities.

  • Total time commitment: 2-3 days

Medical Requirements

Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Chronic health conditions, certain medications and/or recent surgery may require you to get written approval from a physician before diving.

Avoid disappointment, download and review the Diver Medical form to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval to dive before enrolling in a scuba course. Instructors, divemasters and dive shop staff are not physicians and should not be asked for medical advice; only medical professionals can give medical clearance to dive.

If you (or your physician) have questions about medical fitness to dive, contact the experts at Divers Alert Network (DAN).


Prerequisites & Minimum Age

Course prerequisites: PADI Open Water Diver, Junior Open Water Diver, or qualifying entry-level certification.

The minimum age to start the Advanced Open Water Diver course is 12.

  • Divers 15 or older earn an Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
  • Divers between the ages of 12-14 earn a Junior Advanced Open Water certification.
  • Divers 10-11 can earn a Junior Adventure Diver certification. Upon turning 12, they can complete the deep dive and earn a Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
  • Divers certified as Junior Advanced Open Water Divers automatically become Advanced Open Water Divers at age 15. Any replacement certification card or eCard purchased the day after the diver's 15th birthday will automatically show an Advanced Open Water Diver (not Jr. Advanced Open Water Diver) certification.

After This Course

During the Advanced Open Water course, you’ll try different types of specialty diving and discover your diving aptitude and interests. As an added bonus, each dive you take can count toward the related specialty certification.


For example, if you try wreck diving during your Advanced Open Water course and enjoy it, you can credit that dive toward your Wreck Diver certification.


Here are some other courses you might want to consider:

  • If you enjoy taking multiple dives in a day or multi-day dive trips, earning the Enriched Air Nitrox certification will allow you to take longer, deeper dives and have shorter surface intervals.
  • Want to improve your confidence and become a better dive buddy? Enroll in the PADI Rescue Diver course.
  • With each certification you earn, you'll be one step closer to achieving the prestigious Master Scuba Diver™ rating.
