Become a PADI Advanced Open Water diver
Your path to becoming a PADI Advanced Open Water diver begins with the Deep and Underwater Navigation adventure dives. We strongly recommend that everyone do a Peak Performance Buoyancy and Night dive as two of your adventure dives. Then, you can pick from a variety of choices for your final adventure dive.
Your PADI instructor will be there to help you develop your capabilities so you find new ways to enjoy scuba diving.
When you choose to earn your PADI Advanced Open Water with us you get the best of both worlds as your course includes 2 boat dives and 3 shore dives. When you register we will provide you with the necessary materials for study.
PADI Medical form
Prior to your dive you will need to complete the PADI medical form. Answering “yes” on the form will require you to see a physician before scuba diving. Please note cancellations due to answering “yes” on the medical will not be refunded within 48 hours.
PADI Advanced Open Water Requirements
Your PADI Advanced Open Water course can be completed in two days of diving on Maui.
Typically, on the first day we will meet at 8am for the first two shore dives, followed by a short break before your night dive!
The second day of diving will be on our boat! We will meet early at the shop (6:30am) and head out for our deep dive and a second adventure dive of your choice. The day should be complete by 1:30pm so you can enjoy your afternoon and celebrate your new found scuba skills!
Before your arrival you will have online study to complete. Once you’ve signed up online, and paid for the class, we will send you the PADI eLearning so you can begin studying. Please note that all eLearning must be completed prior to your first day of diving so we recommend you give yourself plenty of time.
Save time with PADI eLearning
When you sign up for your certification course we send you the PADI eLearning knowledge development portion.
The online study portion takes about 10 hours and covers all the content of the course you will complete with your instructor.
Once you have completed the knowledge development modules online at home you’re ready to hop into the water and start diving.

Did my PADI certification with Dive Maui. Super professional, thorough, attentive and supportive. A great time too!!
We had a fantastic experience getting PADI certified at Dive Maui. Very glad that we found Dive Maui! Diving was the highlight of our trip and the exercises and learning that were a part of getting certified were fun while being informative.
Excellent diving experience. Did OW certification shore dives. Saw numerous turtles, some sharks, and many other fish and crustaceans. Small, but top notch operation
Great operation, total professionals, but relaxed. I spent 2 days getting my open water cert. My instructor was awesome and made me feel relaxed. The teaching style is perfect. Over three days I saw sharks, octopus and some incredible underwater rock formations.
