At Deep South Divers, we believe diving is more than a hobby—it’s a journey. If you’ve already taken your first step into the underwater world with an entry-level certification, the Advanced Open Water course is your gateway to new depths, exciting environments, and greater confidence beneath the waves. Our diving center in Marsa Alam, located in the heart of Egypt’s pristine Red Sea coast, offers the perfect setting for you to develop your skills in warm, crystal-clear waters surrounded by world-class marine life.
The Advanced Open Water course is designed to build on what you’ve already learned and expand your capabilities as a diver. Through a series of adventure dives, you’ll gain hands-on experience under the guidance of our professional instructors. Whether it’s exploring a deep reef, perfecting your buoyancy, navigating with a compass, or discovering the magic of night diving, you’ll sharpen your skills while enjoying unforgettable moments.
One of the course highlights is the deep dive experience. Here in Marsa Alam, the Red Sea reveals a whole new world beyond 18 meters—thriving coral gardens, dramatic walls, and the chance to encounter larger pelagic species such as sharks, dolphins, or even the elusive dugong. Our carefully selected dive sites are known for their exceptional visibility, gentle currents, and abundance of marine biodiversity, making every dive both safe and awe-inspiring.
Another key part of the course is the underwater navigation dive, where you’ll learn to use a compass and natural landmarks to find your way with precision. This skill not only makes you a more independent diver but also enhances your safety and enjoyment in any dive destination worldwide. Depending on your interests, you can choose from other specialty dives such as drift diving, wreck diving, fish identification, or underwater photography—all designed to give you practical experience while exploring the unique beauty of the southern Red Sea.
Unlike traditional classroom-heavy courses, the Advanced Open Water program focuses on active learning in real diving environments. With us, your training takes place right where the magic happens—on the reefs, along the walls, and in the blue waters of Marsa Alam. Between dives, you’ll relax on our comfortable dive boat, enjoy fresh refreshments, and share stories with fellow divers from around the world.
Completing your Advanced Open Water course with Deep South Divers opens the door to deeper dives, greater challenges, and more thrilling destinations. You’ll be certified to dive to a maximum depth of 30 meters (100 feet), giving you access to sites and marine encounters that are off-limits to entry-level divers. More importantly, you’ll emerge with a new level of confidence, skill, and appreciation for the ocean.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, aiming to improve your diving abilities, or simply want to make the most of your time in Marsa Alam, this course is your next step toward becoming the diver you’ve always wanted to be. Our experienced instructors, premium equipment, and unmatched local knowledge ensure that your training is safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
