PADI Advanced Open Water – Take Your Diving to the Next Level in Koh Tao

Ready to explore deeper, go further, and grow your diving skills?
Our 2-day PADI Advanced Open Water course on Koh Tao is the perfect next step after your Open Water certification. You’ll do 5 exciting dives, including navigation, buoyancy control, deep dives, wreck diving, and optional skills like photography or night diving. When you’re certified, you’ll be qualified to dive down to 30 meters – and access new dive sites across the world.

If you’ve already completed your Open Water course, this is the logical progression – especially if you’re planning liveaboard trips or deeper dives.

Want even more range? Pair it with the Enriched Air Nitrox specialty for longer, safer bottom times.
