PADI ADVANCED Open Water Diving
Introduction to Course
Fed up of being turned down by potential employers in the field of marine conservation because you don’t have a dive license? Then get your PADI scuba certification with us at the Fair Earth Foundation in Tenerife, where the sun shines all year round!
If you’ve always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, discover new adventures or simply see the wondrous world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular scuba diving course, and has introduced millions of people to the adventurous diving lifestyle.
We use highly experienced PADI instructors that the AWdF have worked with for 30 years, most of our volunteers do their PADI open water course whilst they are with us, some of their favourite memories of Tenerife.
If you want the chance to be surrounded by cetacean researchers and likeminded people who are passionate about ocean conservation, whilst diving in the clear, warm waters and great weather in Tenerife, then this course is definitely for you.
The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver eLearning is designed to improve your underwater knowledge and skills. You can enroll immediately after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification regardless of your skill level. The course helps you build confidence in navigation, fine-tune buoyancy skills and introduces you to different diving activities such as wreck diving, night diving or underwater imaging. After completing your eLearning, you’ll make five Adventure Dives: a deep dive (beyond 18m/60F), a navigation dive, and three additional Adventure Dives of your choice to earn your certification.
