Itinerary
Complete 5 specialized adventure dives. Each of them is different and devoted to a specific underwater activity.
Theoretical and practical parts:
During your PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course less time will be devoted to the theoretical part, compared to the PADI Open Water Diver course, as you are already a certified diver and familiar with the basics of diving!
There are no quizzes or exams! You will need to read through the 5 relevant chapters of the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver manual and complete the knowledge reviews relating to those chapters. Before each adventure dive you will also receive a detailed briefing where your PADI instructor will share their own experience regarding the adventure dives you choose to do.
There are 5 dives included in the course and 2 of those are mandatory:
Deep dive
You will dive to a depth of 30 meters and learn how to control your air consumption during the deep diving.
Underwater Navigation
You will improve your underwater navigation skills; learn how to use a dive compass and spot visual landmarks.
Choose the remaining 3 adventure dives of your choice based on your own interests in diving:

Great dive school!
Published on Aug, 2024
Had a fabulous time diving with Scuba Birds! Pino was great, very knowledgeable and helpful. Returned after doing my advance for some additional discovery dives which were really reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!

Amazing dive school! Anatoly was a very friendly, informative and fun instructor and made me feel very at ease throughout the Open Water Advanced course. Very good value for money and would highly recommend this course and dive school to anyone :)
Best dive school on Koh Tao

Vishal was an exceptional dive instructor with Scuba Birds. I was a little nervous initially but he quickly put me at ease and taught the course information clearly & built my skills over the 5 dives
Most amazing two days!
Published on Mar, 2023
A big thanks to Damian and Scuba Birds for two amazing days and 5 amazing dives. I highly recommend Scuba Birds and ask for Damian, we couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He’s so much and fun and so patient, he made us all feel super comfortable and secure. Over all, two amazing days.
10/10 Dive experience!
Published on Oct, 2022
I had a fantastic 2 days diving with Scuba Birds. I wasn’t exactly sure which dive school to choose on the island but after a recommendation from a friend I decided to try them out. They were well worth it! Very professional team and instructor Nelly comes highly recommended. She made me feel comfortable in the water and also helped out wherever necessary whilst teaching me a lot on the go too. I’ll happily be returning to scuba birds in the future for some fun dives when I come back to Koh Tao
