Knowledge Development

 

Knowledge development is based on a self-study method, allowing you to study in your own time, at your own pace using the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Manual & DVD.

 

You will complete 5 chapters of the manual, including knowledge reviews for the corresponding adventure dives that you will be making, 2 of which will include the Deep & Underwater Navigation adventure dives. Your self study is then backed up with a review session with your PADI Instructor, to ensure full understanding of the course material.

​

Don't worry if you have any questions during your study as your instructor will be on hand to respond quickly to emails and messages should you require any assistance.
