Advanced Open Water Diver Course Expands Skills and Unlocks Deeper Underwater Adventures
The Advanced Open Water Diver course is designed to build upon foundational scuba training by focusing on real-world diving experience and skill enhancement. Unlike entry-level certification programs, this course places greater emphasis on hands-on exploration rather than classroom exams, allowing divers to grow confidence through guided underwater practice.
Participants complete five open water dives under the supervision of a PADI Instructor, including core training dives and three specialty dives. These specialty experiences introduce divers to different underwater disciplines such as deep diving, night diving, underwater photography, wreck exploration, and other exciting environments that help broaden their diving abilities and interests.
Key skills developed during the course include underwater navigation using a compass, improved buoyancy control, and safe diving techniques beyond 18 meters. Each dive is structured to strengthen comfort and control underwater while exposing divers to more challenging and rewarding environments.
Upon completion, divers earn an advanced certification that opens the door to more complex diving opportunities and specialty programs, including the possibility of combining training with the PADI Enriched Air Diver course for additional certification. Suitable for certified Open Water Divers aged 12 and above who are medically fit and comfortable in the water, this course is ideal for those seeking to expand their underwater experience with greater confidence, safety, and adventure.

Customer Reviews
I had an absolutely fantastic weekend doing my orientation dive (and fun dives) with Ocean Divers at Killary Fjord! From the moment I arrived every member of staff and all the other divers were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was supportive and relaxed, making it easy to feel comfortable even if youâre just starting out like me (10 dives previously). There were a lot of divers, but each in small groups with their own dive master or dive instructor and grouped together in the OW/AOW courses or fun dives. While I had already done my OW elsewhere, Iâll definitely be doing the advanced course and further dives with these guys as the level of dedication and commitment that goes into making their students be successful divers is visible. Bring a bit of patience for the initial response period if you reach out during a very busy time - itâs hard to respond when youâre always in the water đ but I honestly canât recommend them enough if youâre looking to become a good diver and explore Irelands underwater world with a genuinely lovely group of people.
Iâm doing the drysuit diver course with Oceandivers at the moment. I was having trouble getting my buoyancy right, so had six pool sessions to get it right at no extra charge!! What a crew Oceandivers have. There was no pressure, just take your time and get it right. Dan is always on hand to help you out and the rest of the lads are so helpful. I had my first sea dive for the buoyancy certification today off Dalkey island. It was fantastic!! The extra lessons really paid off. I cannot recommend the Oceandivers crew highly enough. It is and has been a pleasure working with Oceandivers to get my drysuit certification. Canât wait to get back in the water with the crew!!
Did my Open Water course with Ocean Divers and couldnât have asked for a better experience â especially on the trip out to Killary Harbour. Alan and Dan are absolute legends. They keep things calm, clear, and enjoyable from start to finish, and theyâve got a brilliant way of building your confidence without overcomplicating anything. Killary was a cracking spot to dive, and the lads made sure everyone got the most out of it, no matter their level. The whole vibe was relaxed but totally professional â you always felt in safe hands. Already looking forward to coming back for my Advanced course. If youâre thinking of giving diving a go, just book it with these lads. You wonât regret it.
