Private PADI Course
PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
Five dives further, privately guided
The natural next step after certification — five private Adventure Dives that build real skill and confidence, including a guided deep dive and an underwater navigation dive, plus three dives chosen around your interests.
Who It's For
Certified Open Water Divers who want to dive deeper, more confidently, and with more purpose — without needing extra dives beyond their Open Water course to begin.
Private Training
Your five Adventure Dives are chosen and scheduled around you — private guiding, not a fixed group itinerary.
Duration
Typically 2–3 days, scheduled flexibly around your stay
Private Confined Water
In our villa's pool.
Land-based navigation practice can be run privately at our villa before the underwater navigation dive; the remaining preparation is dive-briefing based rather than pool-based. Training takes place at Villa Rice.
Open Water
At sea.
Five open-water Adventure Dives at qualifying Bali sites: a required Deep dive (beyond Open Water depth limits, under direct instructor supervision) and a required Underwater Navigation dive, plus three elective dives selected with your instructor — commonly buoyancy, wreck, or drift, conditions permitting.
