Details
Discover all the secrets of the underwater world of the Cerbicale Islands, with our PADI Advanced Open Water course in Porto-Vecchio. While perfecting your technique, you will be able to explore the depths of the Mediterranean Sea and make amazing discoveries.
This PADI diving course is divided into two parts: a theoretical part and a practical part. For the practice, we will make 5 dives in the sea, so you can practice your deep dive orientation. The dive sites are located in the Cerbicale Islands, which is characterised by rich fauna and flora. Indeed, you will be able to meet many colourful species such as groupers, starfish or cardinalfish.
The PADI Advanced Open Water qualifies you to:
- Dive to a maximum depth of 30 metres/100 feet
- Specialise in diving specialities like wreck diving or underwater photography
Programme
We will meet just after the main entrance of the campsite, on the right-hand side, at the designated bus stop 15 minutes before the activity begins. The minibus will pick you up at that location. There is free parking in front of the campsite. One of our instructors will welcome you and give you your diving equipment. Then we will take the boat to the dive area. Each dive lasts about 40 minutes. Depending on your wishes and time, you can choose to do one or two dives per day.
