Two-Day Advanced Open Water Course – OceanQuest Liveaboard
Complete five Advanced training dives on a two-day, one-night OceanQuest stay, with an additional buddy-dive opportunity. Existing Open Water certification is required.
Build on an existing Open Water qualification during a two-day, one-night stay on OceanQuest. Divers Den’s Advanced course keeps the training at the reef, with reading and knowledge reviews linked to the dives rather than separate classroom days.
Five training dives and an overnight stay
The package includes five instructor-led training dives covering skills such as deep diving, navigation, buoyancy and night diving. The precise elective programme may vary. There is also an opportunity for one additional unguided buddy dive.
Equipment, course materials, instruction, reef transfers, onboard meals and accommodation are included. Sites are selected according to conditions from the operator’s outer reef moorings.
This is further training for qualified divers, not a beginner learn-to-dive course. Bring proof of certification and complete the medical assessment before training. Successful completion of the course requirements is necessary for the Advanced Open Water qualification.
