FAQs – Advanced Open Water Diver Course
Do I have to study theory again?
Yes, a short theory module is part of the course – but there's no big final exam like in Open Water. You can study everything online in advance.
How deep can I dive after the course?
As an AOWD diver, you're certified to dive up to 30 meters (Junior AOWD up to 21 meters).
Are the Adventure Dives the same as Specialty Courses?
No – Adventure Dives are introductory dives. You can credit them toward full Specialty Courses like Wreck Diver or Nitrox later.
What equipment do I need?
Everything is included in the course price – all you need is swimwear and a good mood!
What comes after AOWD?
You can continue with the Rescue Diver course or enroll in full Specialties. We're happy to advise you!
