PADI Advanced Diving in Kas: 3-Day Course

You'll dive to 30 meters after completing five dives across three days.

A 3-day PADI Advanced Diver Course in Kas for certified Open Water divers, combining two required dives (Deep Dive and Compass Navigation) with three elective dives you choose from options like wreck, drift, night, and underwater photography. Self-study and briefings precede each dive, and you'll use full SCUBA equipment aboard a boat departing from Kas harbour.

The experience

The course builds on your Open Water certification by adding depth and skill. Two dives are fixed: the Deep Dive takes you down to practice pressure management, and the Compass Navigation Dive teaches you to navigate underwater without visual landmarks. The other three dives come from a menu (peak performance buoyancy, wreck diving, night diving, search and recovery, drift diving, underwater naturalist, enriched air, or underwater photography and videography), so you shape the course around what interests you.

Each dive day starts with self-study and a knowledge review session before you and your guide brief the specific dive plan. You'll depart Kas harbour by boat, exploring the underwater world of Kas and the surrounding bays and coves. The boat carries all your SCUBA equipment, and the dives are spaced across the three days so you have time to absorb what you learn. By the end, you're certified to dive independently to 30 meters maximum.

What’s included

• Use of SCUBA equipment including tanks, regulators, and weights.
• boat transport departing from Kas harbour for all five dives.
• self-study materials and knowledge review sessions before each dive.
• detailed dive briefings from your instructor.

Is this one for you?Your guide speaks English, German, or Turkish, so choose the language that lets you follow the instruction comfortably and ask questions as you learn. The 3-day structure gives you time between dives to absorb each skill before moving to the next one, rather than rushing through five dives in a single day.

What's the difference between the two core dives and the elective ones?

The Deep Dive and Compass Navigation Dive are required for every student and teach essential skills for deeper, independent diving. The three elective dives let you choose what to focus on (whether that's wreck exploration, night diving, photography, or buoyancy control), so you build the skills that matter most to you.

Do I need to bring my own diving certification card?

Yes, you'll need to hold a PADI Open Water diver certification or equivalent to enroll. Bring your card so the instructor can verify it before the course begins.

What happens if I'm not sure which elective dives to pick?

You'll discuss the options with your guide during the briefing before the course starts. The guide can recommend dives based on the conditions in Kas that day and what skills you want to develop.

Is there a course book I need to buy separately?

The course book is not included in this booking, so you'll need to arrange that separately if you want one for reference during the course.

How physically demanding is a 3-day diving course?

Diving requires a high level of physical fitness. The course involves carrying equipment, entering and exiting the water repeatedly, and managing your body underwater for extended periods. The minimum age is 14.
