The Advanced Open Water (AOW) diver course is the next step after basic certification, designed to build confidence and skills by trying new underwater adventures, focusing on essential deep and navigation dives (to 30m/100ft), and letting divers pick three other specialties like wreck or night diving, allowing them to explore more challenging sites safely with instructor guidance. It’s a practical course, often involving five adventure dives, increasing comfort, and leading toward rescue diver training.
