You've done your PADI Open Water Diver Course and you loved it. Go deeper into this adventure by doing your PADI Advanced Open Water Course! This course, offered by us in Cape Town, is tailor made for the adventurous scuba diver at heart.
This is where you start to specialize in the other exciting types of scuba diving which will allow you to dive on wrecks, at night, to depth of up to 30 meters, with a dry suit and even teach you how to take awesome photos underwater.
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Certification is awarded for doing 5 “Adventure” scuba dives, of which one needs to a deep dive and the other needs to be an Underwater Navigation dive.
Please note that although we do up to 5 “adventure” dives, the course material and dives that we cover in this course, are not as in-depth as the Speciality Dives. In other words when we teach you Underwater Navigation in this course, there is still much more that you could learn by doing a dedicated Underwater Navigation Specialty Course.
Each adventure dive counts as the first dive of the Specialty Course so if you would like to specialize in a specific dive talk to our crew and we can get you booked in on a specialty course after your Advanced Open Water Course training.
OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY: Don’t train until you get it right, train until you can’t get it wrong.

Prerequisites
Before diving, ensure you meet PADI’s basic health and swimming requirements. Be a PADI Open Water diver or equivalent!
Although there are a lot of pretty things to be seen above 18 meters, it often happens that a reef or wreck worth visiting is lying a little bit deeper than 18 meters. Your Advanced Course allows you to dive down to 30 meters, which allows you to visit to a lot more dive sites!
Just as on land, some animals go to sleep at night while others come out. You can quite often see animals underwater at night that you have never seen before!
We do have a limited number of dry suits for rent – whether we have one that will fit you depends on your size. The best is to come in before your course, so that we can fit one to see if we can help you out.
Temporary MPA permits can be obtained at Into the Blue Scuba Centre for R45 (valid for one month), or yearly ones can be obtained from a Post Office at a cost of R102.
There are many options! You should consider doing your Rescue Course, which teaches you what to do in emergency situations, and you can specialise in the types of diving that really interests you – such as Wreck diving, Deep diving, or Underwater Photography.
