Tulum Diving Center offers several options in our Advanced Open Water Diver Course.

You can join the full Advanced Course, the Adventure Diver Course or even just join us for any of the individual Adventure Dives that count toward the Advanced Open Water Certification.
PADI Advanced Open Water Course
6 dives over 3 days
This is our standard group Advanced Open Water Diver Course. Although the PADI requirement is 5 dives for Advanced, we offer 6 dives over 3 days. The Course is an experience oriented program designed to give you practical experience in a number of specialty diving areas. Offered weekly on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and again on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. (Choose the private Advanced Class and you can choose alternate dates)
You will begin an eLearning program you can complete at home on your own schedule. Why waste your vacation time studying? The objective of the programs is to give you as much in water time as possible in which to perfect your diving skills, so once you join us in Tulum we will head straight to the water for 6 dives done over three days. We will begin with a fun dive to get you back in the water. Then we will begin teaching you the basics of several aspects of diving.
Underwater Navigation and Deep diving are required elements of the program. We are lucky enough to always have a gentle current flowing along our coast so we also include Driift diving in our programs. This gives you a well rounded experience. Navigation for when you are diving from a stationary boat and Drift diving for when you are diving from a live boat.
You will be amazed at how much more comfortable you will be underwater by the end of the course. Additionally, you will see some great diving along the way.
You may also have the option to do a Cavern Dive as one of the dives for the course. The Yucatan Penninsula has the largest underwater cave and cavern system in the world. It is an experience you should not miss.
Cavern dives may not always be available. It will depend upon availability of one of our professional cavern guides.
