When you start diving, students learn the necessary skills very quickly.
However, time and time again we see that students, who only did the Open Water (OW) course and have not dived for even one year forget nearly everything what they have learned. In the 5 dives of the advanced course (AOW) we consolidate the skills learned in the previous course. One learns a little faster, the other a little slower. But everyone gets 200% better by doing the AOW right after the OW. Above all, it means that your knowledge and your skills become much better and last much longer. And with the Nitrox certification you are prepared to dive anywhere in the world.

Important Questions
- What are the benefits of the Advanced Course (AOW/ EANX)?
-The certification to 30m allows you to dive at around 95% of all dive sites around the world and to use Nitrox, so you get the most out of your dives.
– Of course, this is also about your safety. You will learn to better control your buoyancy and explore dive sites on your own and become a more independent and aware diver.
– The Sattakut shipwreck, a World War II warship (49m long), is one of the must-see highlights on Koh Tao.
–The Night Dive in itself is worth extanding your holiday on Koh Tao by a few days. Looking back, 95% of all students say it was the coolest thing they’ve ever done.
- How many students are there in our groups?
– We take a maximum of 4 students per instructor. If there are more students, we take another divemaster or a second instructor.
–Safety is our top priority. With small group sizes, we can ensure that every student completes the course with maximum individual success.
- I’m not sure if I can equalize my ears at 30 metres …
– As you learned in the Open Water course, the deeper you dive, the less you need to equalize your ears. At a depth of 30 metres it’s much easier to equalize then diving in the shallows.
- What if I can’t finish the course?
– If during the course you want to stop the course for any reason, or if you realise that diving is just not for you, we are 100% willing to help and you only have to pay for what you’ve already done. We will also give you a Referral Form so you can finish your diving license anywhere in the world. But statistics show that 98% of our students successfully complete their courses. Our experience is your trust.
