The PADI Advanced Open Water course in Pondicherry opens up the region's best sites, including the Aravind Wall, through five adventure dives over two days. A mandatory deep dive to 30m and a navigation dive build the confidence to explore the Bay of Bengal's deeper reefs and wrecks.
PADI's Advanced Open Water uses eLearning theory and five adventure dives with no formal exams, embeds Project AWARE conservation and issues a lifetime PADI certification card.
The course opens up Pondicherry's full site range, from the 30m Aravind Wall to wrecks and reef structures across the Bay of Bengal. Five dives over two days in calm Oct-May seas and 27-30C water bring encounters with stingrays, moray eels, parrotfish and schooling reef fish.
