Build on your certification with the PADI Advanced Open Water course in the Seychelles, extending your skills and depth range across Mahe's granite reefs, walls and wrecks. Over five adventure dives, including deep and underwater navigation, you explore sites such as the Coral Garden, the Twin Barges wreck and deeper pinnacles in real Indian Ocean conditions. You finish certified to dive to 30 metres and ready for specialty training.
PADI Advanced Open Water requires five adventure dives, with Deep and Underwater Navigation mandatory, and has no final exam. It raises your depth limit to 30 metres and is a prerequisite for the Rescue Diver course.
Adventure dives use Mahe's coral gardens, the Twin Barges wreck and deeper granite pinnacles, so you dive walls and mild currents in 26-30C water. The April-May and September-November peaks bring the best visibility and frequent encounters with rays, turtles and seasonal whale sharks.
