As an advanced diver, you have the chance to participate adventures that you could never experience as an OWD-diver, since you can only dive 18 meters deep with that cerificate.
For your further education we offer 2 different classes. First you need to graduate the advanced open water-diver, so that you can join the rescue-diver-class.
After recieving your certificate of the advanced open water-diver-class, you will finally be able to dive into further depths and explore the mysterios sea at night. You are also able to start with the IRTDA technical diving programm which includes deep air, wreck-dives, and cave-dives.
the class includes:
| requirements | open water-diver-certificate |
