Why You Should Take Your Advanced Open Water in Bali

If you’ve completed your Open Water certification and want to go further, Bali is the perfect place to take your next big step: the PADI Advanced Open Water course. With its mix of stunning coral reefs, unique dive environments, and professional instructors, the island offers everything you need to grow as a diver—while having a truly unforgettable time underwater.

The Advanced Open Water course in Bali allows you to explore deeper dive sites, improve your buoyancy, and try out specialized adventures like wreck diving or night diving. Unlike the first certification, this course is more focused on experience than theory—making it ideal for those who want to sharpen their skills while exploring new challenges.

One of the biggest advantages of training here is the variety of sites available. You can dive the famous USAT Liberty wreck in Tulamben, explore macro life in Amed, and drift along with manta rays at Nusa Penida—all within the same week. This gives you a dynamic learning environment where each dive teaches something new.

You’ll also gain real confidence by diving in different conditions—whether that’s mastering current dives, learning how to use a dive computer in complex profiles, or improving navigation. With highly experienced PADI instructors and small group sizes, you’ll get personalized coaching tailored to your goals and comfort level.

Taking your Advanced Open Water certification in Bali also opens the door to deeper dives—up to 30 meters—and prepares you for future courses like Rescue Diver or even Divemaster. It’s a smart investment if you’re planning more adventurous dive trips in the future.
