Advanced Open Water Diver Course Bali
The Advanced - Course broadens the knowledge and skills you have aquired in the Open Water Course. It consists of five different "diving topics". Two of them are compulsory: "Deep Diving" and "Navigation". Underwater Navigation is abolutely necessary when you dive regularly and don´t want to depend to 100% to your divemaster without being able to know if is doing a good job or not. Deep Diving is a part of normal diving when you engage in diving with a group, when you do live aboard diving, e.g. Deep diving means diving below 18 meters, the limit you are supposed to respect as an Open Water Diver. Deep doesn´t mean the "abyss" however. The limit for Advanced Open Water Divers is 30 meters. For anything deeper you are supposed to do extra training.
For doing a deep dive in the Advanced Open Water Course I would recommend the Drop Off in Tulamben. There are no strong currents which is good if you dive deep for the first time.
For Navigation, too, it is important that there are no considerable currents which can falsify your compass work.
Besides of these central diving skills you can choose three others which you like, which should make enjoy your diving adventures.
I will just mention some of the possibilities you have got.
Wreckdiving: This dive which will be preceded by some theory can be done very well and with greatest benefits in Tulamben Bali at the wreck of the USS - Liberty. Wreckdiving Tulamben means as all other wreckdiving - if there is no special training given - to dive the wreck FROM OUTSIDE. For diving in the wreck you need proper training an equipment.
Underwaterfotography: We will teach you the most important aspects of underwater photography, mention that perfect boyancy is a desirable part of taking underwater photos. If there is time and the equipment we will show you good underwater photos and you try to understand how they are taken and what makes them good photos.
Then you do it yourself. You take photos with flash and without to see the difference. You will take the photos home with you on a CD. Doing underwater photography is hard when you are in a current. For a video with two Advanced Open Water students click here.
