This course can be taken after completing the PADI Open Water Diver certification. Advancing your diving knowledge & skills is what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. You don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. You try out different specialities while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new ways to have fun scuba diving.
You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives – Deep and Underwater Navigation – and you choose the other three, for a total of five dives.
During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive refines your compass navigation skills and helps you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time.
The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have – photography, buoyancy control and fish identification.
Discounted Refresher dive for $90 available.

Thank you!
Very helpful and attentive staff. Easy snorkeling experience. Very safe with good equipment and a lot of marine life to see and observe in protected environment. Thank you
We had Perfect Bouncy course with Ines. Her patience, professionalism, and smile made the experience absolutely enjoyable for us.
Thank you Ines and your diving team 😊
The staff at Keppel Dive are incredibly helpful, always willing to lend a hand with weather conditions and best places to go based on weather, provide valuable guidance, and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Their knowledge of the area and passion for diving shines through in every interaction, making each dive or taxi excursion memorable and exciting.
I highly recommend Keppel Dive to anyone looking for a top-notch diving or boat taxi experience in the Great Keppel Island area. Their professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. I look forward to many more dives with Keppel Dive in the future!
Had the privilege of a Reef Master as a snorkelling guide which was brilliant as she could spot animals that were well camouflaged and shared her knowledge.
There were a couple people on our tour that couldn’t swim and they were supported to enjoy the experience safely and confidently.
Highly recommend
The dive center is very cosy and characterful, very much tropical paradise vibes. Their boat is spacious, clean, and a lovely ride out to the divesite.
Jen the skipper had an awesome personality, very friendly and engaging.
Dive guide Katy was also very good, friendly, professional and led two very relaxed 50min dives underwater so we saw plenty.
The coral life and marine life are excellent, some of the best I have seen, I was amazed at the health and quantity of what I saw.
Easy gear washing facilities and a shower afterwards.
As an instructor myself, I can attest to the quality, Im very happy I dived here and will certainly return and certainly recommend.
The only issue was the SUPs are in a bad state of disrepair. The rubber is all frayed and ripping off, and the front of the SUPs have these moulded plastic holes that are supposed to have plastic bungs in them, most of the bungs have fallen out and not been replaced. One of our party fell from the SUP and got his finger caught in one of the holes, it got quite bruised and now the next day is very swollen and discolored, probably broken. Unfortunately he didn’t say anything at the time so we did not inform the shop when we returned to shore.
Thanks Keppel Dive team ❤️
They were able to suggest a beach which would suit, and make it very easy to book and pin down a schedule.
Nothing was too much trouble.
She slowed down the boat to show us beaches, and dolphins, whilst giving us some lovely additional information.
Tilly is a passionate ‘boater’, whom we both found engaging and kind.
We had little involvement with other team members, but they were inspirited and cooperative, which of course is a wonderful.
Thank you for making it easy, and the kindness to make our day a wonderful one.
Would definitely recommend for those enjoying the island.
So professional, helpful and understanding, they taught us everything about scuba diving and made sure we had a great time!
Rate 11/10! We will be back!
Thanks again Richard ????????????????
I’m so glad I did this course with her.
