The PADI Advanced Open Water Course is your next step after taking the Open Water Diver. Here at New Way Diving, we have catered the best dives to the environment surrounding the waters of the beautiful island of Koh Tao.

The course takes place over 2 days and includes 5 Dives. It will depend on which day you start as to which order your Adventure Dives take place.

NOTE: If you haven’t yet taken your PADI Open Water Diver yet, you will need to complete this before taking this advanced course. Head here for more information and to book.

We’ve got an action-packed course for you where the focus is to develop your all round diving environment, rather than focusing on scuba skills that were taught during the Open Water Course. These take place over 5 dives, 2 of which are mandatory, while the other 3 are your choice, although there seem to be a few favourites, which are shown in the sample schedule below. The mandatory dives are the Navigation Dive and the Deep Dive. After that, there is a choice of the following…

Peak Performance Buoyancy
Fish Identification Dive
Computer Dive
Underwater Photography Dive
Wreck Diving
Enriched Air Nitrox Dive
Underwater Naturalist Dive
Drift Dive
Night Diving
DPV Dive
Search & Recovery Dive
Boat Dive

We offer a maximum group size of four students to one of our experienced instructors, assuring that each student receives enough attention, allowing them to qualify as a competent diver while having great, safe fun!

If smaller group instruction is desired, please contact us to make a request and we are happy to arrange!

Our Advanced Open Water Diver Course is designed to be flexible, and we do offer it as such… However, in our 20+ years of experience, we have found the below to be the most suitable, and how we usually run it…

Day 1	10:00 – 10:45	Course Orientation & Paperwork
	11:45 – 17:00	Peak Performance Buoyancy & Navigation Dive
	18:30 – 20:00	Night Dive
Day 2	06:00 – 10:30	Deep Dive & Wreck Dive

When day two comes to an end, you will be certified as a PADI Advanced Open Water Scuba Diver!

About the Qualification

The Advanced Open Water Diver License certifies you to dive around the world with any other certified diver to a depth of 30 metres. After having achieved this qualification there are a few routes to continue.

Firstly, you may decide to continue Fun Diving with us. (All of our previous students receive a discounted rate on continuing dives that they do with us, as a way of us saying thanks!)

Secondly, you may decide to continue learning more about each of the subjects that you covered in the Advanced Course by enrolling in the corresponding Specialty Diver Course. This will give you additional dives in the same environment you chose.

For example, and the most popular, the Deep Diver Specialty, which certifies you to 40m, the Wreck Diver Specialty, which allows you explore the inside of wrecks, and Enriched Air Nitrox, which allows you to dive on Nitrox all over the world and extend your dive times. Finally, many people decide to continue their Diver training with the PADI Rescue Diver Course. With both of these last two options, we also like to say thanks for completing the Open Water Diver Course with us and offer a 10% Discount off this course.

New Way Diving includes free collection from the pier upon arrival since taxis here can be expensive!

Simply let us know by email which ferry company you’ll be arriving with, what time and where from, and we will send our taxi to collect you from the appropriate pier and bring you to us so we can say hello, and help you get to your accommodation.

In order to book this experience, you will need to pay a deposit online.
This deposit is fully refundable if you wish to cancel.
You can also change the date later on if your plans change.
The deposit remains in a ‘pending state’ until you hear from the operator, have confirmed availability and agreed that they can meet all of your requirements.
If you are unable to finalise a date or the organiser cannot meet your requirements, your deposit is automatically returned to you in full.
Once you have agreed on a date and are happy to go ahead with the activity as planned, your deposit will be accepted.
At this point, your deposit is still refundable. However, if you wish to cancel, there will be a small cancellation fee applied to cover payment gateway fees (this is approx. 5% of the total deposit amount that you paid to us).
The rest of the payment for the experience is payable to the organiser, either upon arrival at the destination or before, if the organiser requires it. The organiser will arrange this with you directly.
The refund of the second payment, which goes directly to the trip organiser, is based on their own Terms and Conditions, and we have no control over this.
Please read our customer Terms and Conditions for more information.
