Overview
This course can be taken immediately after your Open Water Diver certification. You should feel comfortable in the water, but you don’t need to be an experienced diver to participate.
The Advanced course is like a tasting of 5 different specialties. It will give you an overview of each one, and if you particularly enjoy a subject, 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 specifically designed to enhance your safety.
During this course, you will be introduced to the following dives:
- Deep Dive
- Navigation Dive
- Surface Marker Buoy Deployment
- Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive
- Rescue Dive
Included:
- Advanced eLearning course
- Rental of: wetsuit, gloves, BCD, regulator, weights, and 3 tanks/refills
- 5 certification dives
- Site entry (Flintkote)
- PADI certification card upon course completion
- FQAS Class A evaluation if required (FQAS card fee not included)

The Advanced Diver course pairs exceptionally well with the Enriched Air specialty. A higher oxygen mix enhances your safety and reduces fatigue, especially during multiple dives, where enriched air becomes a major advantage.
By taking the Advanced course alongside the Enriched Air specialty, you’ll gain access to a second online course, a hands-on analysis session at the shop (about 1 hour), and you’ll complete your deep dive using a Nitrox mix.

Important !
Le questionnaire médical DAN (Divers Alert Network) permet de déterminer si une consultation médicale est nécessaire avant de pratiquer la plongée. Il est obligatoire de le remplir, le signer et suivre ses instructions avant un cours de plongée ; ce document est également exigé par les assurances. Il contribue avant tout à préserver votre sécurité.
Veuillez lire attentivement le questionnaire avant de vous inscrire à un cours, s’il vous plaît.
Si vous avez répondu “oui” à l’une des questions, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter pour plus d’informations. Cela ne signifie pas nécessairement que vous n’êtes pas apte à pratiquer la plongée, mais simplement que vous devrez consulter un médecin pour confirmer votre aptitude.
