PADI Advanced Open Water course June 2024

Take the next step on from your Open Water course, move forward with the PADI Advanced Open Water certification.

This will be split over two dates in June.

SUNDAY 9th June – Wraysbury

We will be doing the Navigation Dive, the Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive and the D.S.M.B Dive.

WEDNESDAY 26th June – Vobster

We will be doing the Deep Dive and the Wreck Dive.

You will need to do a small amount of home study before the course, this is all now done with the digital PADI home study eLearning material. You don’t need to come to the shop to get the course arranged and access your digital home study, we can arrange it over the phone or via email, the course can be paid for via BACS or credit card, we will then send you the code for your home study, with instructions how to do this. Or of course you can pop into the centre to book this and sort out all of your paperwork.

Due to water temperatures in Stoney Cove or Vobster all year round at depth, we strongly advise you to be drysuit trained for the Deeper dives, where it can drop to 8 degrees at 30m. However if you want to do the deeper dives in a wetsuit, it is your choice, but you will start to get cold at depth, please accept we may stop your course if we think you are too cold to continue. The shallow dives at Wraysbury can be done in either a wetsuit or drysuit.

Stoney Cove or Vobster requires that we book your entry tickets into the site, we (Ocean View) will need to do this ahead of time if it is Vobster, we will request the lake entry fee be paid by either cash or bank transfer only to us. If Stoney Cove, it will be bookable by yourself. Please note that the entry fee costs are not included in your course fees.

Required equipment: a torch for the deeper dives, and a slate for the reck Dives, and preferably your own DSMB and reel for the DSMB dive.
