FAQs – Advanced Open Water Diver Course
❓ Muss ich Theorie nochmal lernen?
Ja, ein kurzes Theorie-Modul gehört dazu – aber kein großer Test wie beim Open Water. Du kannst alles bequem online vorab lernen.
❓ Wie tief darf ich nach dem Kurs tauchen?
Als AOWD-Taucher darfst du offiziell bis zu 30 Meter tief tauchen (bei Junior AOWD bis 21 Meter).
❓ Sind die Adventure Dives das gleiche wie Specialty-Kurse?
Nein – Adventure Dives sind Probekapitel. Du kannst sie später auf echte Spezialkurse wie Wreck Diver oder Nitrox anrechnen lassen.
❓ Welche Ausrüstung brauche ich?
Alles ist bei uns im Kurspreis inklusive – du brauchst nur Badekleidung und gute Laune!
❓ Was kommt nach dem AOWD?
Du kannst mit dem Rescue Diver Kurs weitermachen oder echte Specialties belegen. Gerne beraten wir dich!
For your own safety and the safety of others, please do not use cannabis before or during any dive activity.
