The Hard Core Open Water Adventure

A week packed with challenges, rewards, new experiences and lots of fun. If you are ready for an extensive diving holiday and are up for the challenge of two diving courses, you can become an Advanced Open Water diver in one week.

The PADI Open Water course (OWD) includes basic theory, 5 confined water based sessions teaching you the required scuba skills and 4 open water dives in clear, warm waters. By the end of the course you will be certified to dive to 18 meters with a buddy and ready to start the next part of your adventure.

The PADI Advanced Open Water course consists of 5 fun adventure dives, each accompanied by a knowledge review. The Deep Dive and the Underwater Navigation Dive are mandatory and we recommend the Night, Drift and Naturalist Dives to get the most out of your Advanced Open Water course in Dahab. Other Adventure dives are available upon request. The world famous Canyon and Blue Hole are only fully accessible for AOW divers certified to dive to 30 meters. During the week you'll get the chance to experience them both.

You still have plenty of time to soak up that 'Dahab Feeling' by enjoying a sunset camel ride along the beach.

Year Around price: 540GBP
