Junior Advanced Open Water Diver (JAOWD)

Welcome to the IDDA Junior Advanced Open Water Diver course!

You already have your Junior Open Water Diver (JOWD) certification and would now like to develop your skills and knowledge further? Then the JAOWD is the right next step for you!

In this course, similar to the Advanced Open Water Diver course, you will progress to the next level of your diving education. You will learn advanced techniques and skills and gain further experience in a variety of diving conditions. Among other things, you will improve your underwater navigation and orientation and further develop the skills you have already learned.

During the practical part of the course, you will complete five Adventure Dives under the guidance of an experienced diving instructor. This allows you to put your newly acquired knowledge and skills directly into practice.

Maximum diving depth and supervision

For an IDDA Junior Advanced Open Water Diver aged 12 or older, the maximum permitted diving depth is 20 metres.

Junior Advanced Open Water Divers may not dive alone or exclusively with another junior diver. They must be accompanied by a suitably qualified diver holding the “Dive with Children” qualification or by a professional diver at Divemaster level or higher.

After successfully completing the course, you will receive your IDDA Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification. With this certification, you can further expand your diving experience and discover new possibilities in the underwater world – always observing the maximum depth limit of 20 metres for junior divers and the required supervision.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s explore the underwater world together!
