The course includes a mandatory deep dive and underwater navigation dive, providing the foundation for more advanced recreational diving. These dives allow participants to develop greater awareness, improve underwater navigation skills, and become more comfortable operating at increased depths. Additional adventure dives are selected from a range of speciality options depending on availability and interests. Examples may include Nitrox diving, search and recovery techniques, dry suit diving, or the use of underwater propulsion devices. Each dive introduces new techniques and challenges while expanding your overall diving experience. Throughout the course, your instructor will provide guidance and feedback to help refine existing skills and improve confidence underwater. Upon successful completion, you'll receive an internationally recognised certification that allows you to dive to depths of up to 30 metres and opens the door to further training, including the Rescue Diver course. 📍 Location Located on Mallorca's southwest coastline, Santa Ponça offers access to a variety of dive sites suitable for advanced training.

The Open Water certification focuses on learning the foundations of scuba diving, while the Advanced Open Water course is designed to build experience and develop new skills. Participants complete a variety of adventure dives that introduce different diving environments, techniques, and challenges while increasing confidence and independence underwater. ### Do I need to complete the course immediately after Open Water? No. Many divers complete the Advanced course shortly after certification, while others choose to gain experience first. As long as you hold a recognised Open Water qualification or equivalent, you can enrol whenever you feel ready to continue your diving development. ### How deep can I dive after completing the course? Successful completion of the course allows certified divers to dive to a maximum depth of 30 metres. Additional speciality training may allow access to greater depths and more specialised diving activities depending on local regulations and certification requirements. ### Which adventure dives will I complete? The course includes a deep dive and an underwater navigation dive as mandatory components. Three additional dives are selected from available speciality options, which may include Nitrox, search and recovery, dry suit diving, underwater propulsion devices, and other adventure dives. ### Is this course recognised internationally? Yes. The certification is recognised worldwide and can be used when diving with operators and centres across the globe. This allows divers to continue exploring new destinations without needing to repeat their training. ### Does the certification expire? No. Once earned, the certification remains valid for life. Although divers who have not dived for an extended period may benefit from a refresher programme, the qualification itself does not expire. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-18-111531.png - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
