Advanced Open Water suits south-ari-atoll well, opening up the channel drifts and deeper walls where whale sharks, mantas and grey reef sharks appear. Over five adventure dives you build deep and navigation skills plus three more of your choice on the atoll's reefs.
PADI Advanced Open Water uses PADI eLearning, includes Project AWARE awareness, and issues a PADI card that authorises diving to 30m.
Adventure dives span South Ari's house reefs at 5-18m up to outer walls and kandu channels at 30m, where current brings sharks, eagle rays and big schooling fish. The deep dive on a drop-off and a drift along a channel show exactly why divers come to this atoll.
