The PADI Advanced Open Water pathway

This is the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification. Each adventure dive is the first dive of the corresponding PADI specialty, so dives like deep or wreck can later be credited toward full specialty certifications.

Where you'll dive in Hurghada

The course makes the most of Hurghada's variety: deeper walls and drop-offs for the deep dive, easy reef tops for navigation, and famous wrecks like the Salem Express or the Abu Nuhas cargo ships for the elective wreck dive, all in warm, clear water (22-29C).
