COURSE DETAILS

PADI Advanced Open Water Course in Nusa Penida Details

Your schedule will be something like this.

The course is conducted over two days and you will do five course dives. For each course dive there is a chapter to read from your course manual and a knowledge review to be completed through self-study. You will review the knowledge reviews with your instructor before each dive. Your schedule will be something like this:
  • Arrive & collect manual – you will ideally collect your manual the day before your dives so you can choose which dives you want to do
  • Day 1 – Course dives – Check knowledge reviews with your instructor after diving
  • Day 2 – Course dives – Check knowledge reviews with your instructor after diving
As there are five course dives, on one of the days you’ll make two course dives and on the other you’ll make three – this leaves time for an optional fun dive if you wish. Which dives you do on which days will depend on the conditions here at the time – your instructor will advise you. Note: If you decide to have an extra dive with us then we will only charge an extra Rp750,000. This means you can take the PADI Advanced Open Water Course over a relaxing 3days!! Our daily diving schedule is to depart about 8am for 2 dives, and return for lunch. Snacks, water & coffee/tea are provided during the surface interval.
You will finish off every day by logging any dives with your instructor, and reviewing the sightings in our fish-id books. Beers and cocktails are also readily available after your diving!
