Advanced Open Water Questions - Expert Answers
1How soon after Open Water can I take Advanced Open Water?
You can start Advanced Open Water immediately after Open Water certification! While there's no minimum dive requirement, we recommend 5-10 additional dives to build confidence. Many students take both courses consecutively for accelerated progression.
2What's the difference between Open Water and Advanced Open Water?
Advanced Open Water focuses on adventure dives and skill building rather than basic techniques. You'll dive deeper (30m vs 18m), explore wrecks, master navigation, and choose specialty adventures like night diving or underwater photography.
3Is Advanced Open Water really harder than Open Water?
Advanced Open Water is more challenging but very achievable for confident Open Water divers. Instead of learning basic skills, you're applying them in new environments. Our instructors provide guidance throughout each adventure dive.
4Can I choose which adventure dives to do?
Yes! Deep diving and navigation are mandatory, but you choose 3 from our available specialties: wreck, night, drift, photography, fish identification. We'll help you select based on your interests and goals.
5Will I be ready for technical diving after Advanced Open Water?
Advanced Open Water provides excellent preparation for technical diving, especially our HMS Hermes preparation track. However, technical diving requires additional specialized training beyond Advanced certification.
6What if weather affects my adventure dives?
We'll reschedule affected dives at no additional cost. Trincomalee's diverse dive sites usually allow us to complete your course even if some sites are temporarily unavailable due to conditions.
7Do I need my own advanced equipment?
All equipment is provided, including dive computers for deep diving and compasses for navigation. You're welcome to use personal equipment if you prefer, and we offer equipment consultation for future purchases.
8How does Advanced Open Water help with future diving?
Advanced certification opens access to more challenging dive sites worldwide, qualifies you for liveaboard trips, and is required for Rescue Diver training. It significantly expands your diving opportunities globally.
