Advanced Open Water Diver - Plongée Capitale

Welcome to your Advanced Open Water Diver Course – PADI

Welcome to your Advanced Open Water Diver Course – PADI

This course can be taken immediately after your Open Water Diver certification. You should be comfortable in the water, but you don’t need to be an experienced diver to participate.

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is likely the most enjoyable course. It serves as an introduction to five different PADI specialties. It includes the first part of the theory and the first dive of each specialty. If you particularly enjoy a topic, you can take the full specialty course to explore it in depth. Two dives are predetermined by PADI, and the three we have selected are primarily focused on enhancing your safety.

This is an excellent course to take after your Open Water Diver certification to gain experience while benefiting from the safety and guidance of our instructors.

This course is divided into 2 parts

For your Advanced Diver course you will need to complete the chapters on deep diving, underwater navigation, buoyancy control, surface marker deployment, and Rescue. The five chapters take an average of 8 hours to complete. Additional topics are available in the online course, and you are free to explore them all if you wish to learn more.
The theory needs to be completed before the certification weekend.

CERTIFICATION

The certification will take place at Flintkote, Thetford Mines.
You will complete 3 dives on Saturday and 2 dives on Sunday. Your instructor will provide a detailed briefing before each dive and a follow-up afterward. The goal is not to master the 5 specialties but to give you the opportunity to experience new ways of diving under the supervision of an instructor.

We particularly believe that buoyancy control can never be practiced enough, and knowing how to deploy a buoy underwater is essential for dives in the Saint Lawrence or in the south.

Price

575$

(incl. eLearning, 5 dives, dive site entry and certification card if the course is completed.)

COMBO COURSE: ADVANCED DIVER & ENRICHED AIR NITROX

Take 2 courses and save big!

The Advanced course pairs exceptionally well with the Enriched Air specialty. A higher oxygen mix enhances your safety and reduces fatigue, especially during multiple dives, making enriched air a major asset.

By taking the Advanced course alongside the Enriched Air specialty, you’ll gain access to a second online course, an in-store analysis session (about 1 hour), and complete your deep dive using a Nitrox mix.

Add

175$

(an additional eLearning, classroom session, a Nitrox fill and certification card)

A word about the Québec Subaquatique (FQAS) permit:
This permit is required to dive in Quebec. Whether it’s a Class A or B, the most important thing is to have one. If you don’t have a permit yet, your instructor will conduct a full evaluation to issue you a Class A during the course. To obtain Class B, you can participate in one of our night dives on Tuesday evenings at the end of the season or take the Night Diving specialty.

Note: the evaluation is included in the course, but the permit fees with Québec Subaquatique are not.
