Once you've dipped your toes into the world of diving, there’s no turning back! No wonder then that the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course is the next step for most Open Water Divers.
Comprising 5 dives, conducted over 2 days, this course expands on your existing training. While there are no classroom or theory sessions, each dive is preceded by a detailed discussion with your instructor.
Of the 5 dives, the Deep and Navigation dives are compulsory, while the other 3 can be selected from a list of available electives including Peak Performance Buoyancy, Enriched Air Diver, Wreck Diver, Rescue Diver, Underwater Photography, Fish Identification and many more. We’ll be happy to help you choose suitable electives depending on your interests and local diving conditions.
The course not only teaches you how to do deeper dives up to 30 meters, but also boosts your confidence, and broadens your understanding of dive theory, navigation and safety protocols.
The PADI Emergency First Responder (EFR) Course is designed to teach essential, life-saving skills in a supportive environment to diver and non-divers. While it is a fundamental part of dive education, EFR training helps ensure safety not just underwater, but also in daily life – in school, at home, work or even the market.
Besides teaching skills, the course aims to foster a sense of responsibility while instilling confidence in participants. At SEI, we encourage a hands-on approach to emergency response and teach you –
As an EFR-trained individual, you are prepared to respond to the unexpected and can make a life-saving difference in the critical moments following an incident, before emergency services arrive.
Nothing beats the thrill of exploring the underwater world, but like any adventure activity, diving also comes with its set of challenges and potential risks. The Rescue Diver Course hones your ability to recognize, prevent and respond to diving-related emergencies, involving yourself or others.
This course is often described as one of the most challenging yet rewarding courses in recreational diving. So, whether you are a seasoned diver or a recently certified one, earning the Rescue Diver certification is sure to be a milestone on your journey.
As a certified Rescue Diver you will –
Whether you aspire to be a dive professional or just wish to be a more capable, safety-conscious diver, the Rescue Diver Course is a valuable addition to your diving education.
The Enriched Air Diver is PADI’s most popular Specialty Course and for good reason!
The air we breathe on surface is approximately 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. Any breathing gas with more oxygen and less nitrogen than this is called enriched air (also known as EANx or nitrox).
When using nitrox, you absorb less nitrogen during your dive compared with regular air. This means, you get longer dive times for a given depth and shorter surface intervals between dives. All of this translates into you getting to spend more time underwater!
As a certified Enriched Air Diver, you can dive with up to 40% oxygen.
From exploring well-preserved wrecks to spotting new species, many great dive experiences lie beyond depths of 18 metres/60 feet. The PADI Deep Diver Specialty teaches you to perform such deeper dives but within the limits of recreational scuba in a safe, supervised manner.
Deeper dives come with additional challenges and safety considerations. During this course, you develop your diving capabilities and focus on perfecting your foundational skills, because buoyancy control becomes increasingly critical the deeper you dive. You also learn to plan your dives in greater detail; manage your gas; and identify and deal with narcosis.
As a certified Deep Diver, you can dive to a maximum depth of 40 metres/130 feet – the upper limit of recreational scuba.
As a certified diver you might be curious about the operating mechanisms of your equipment. You might also be keen to invest in some equipment of you own & want to learn how to maintain it properly. The PADI Equipment Specialist Course is your answer!
You learn to manage basic repairs and adjustments, so you never have to miss a dive due to minor issues with your equipment – whether it's a missing o-ring, wetsuit tear or a broken fin strap.
You will also learn more about how dive gear works, which in turn will help you make informed purchase decisions depending on your needs. You will also be better prepared to take care of your investment.
Excellent buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You've seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly; use less air; and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought. They observe aquatic life more easily without disturbing their surroundings. You can achieve this, too.
The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level. If you want to improve your buoyancy control, and optimise your air consumption, this is the way to go! You'll also learn to achieve neutral buoyancy, hover in place and use the right amount of weights.
Discover the warm waters of Goa and dive amongst the wonderful marine life endemic to the area. Explore the various wrecks around Grande Island, and if you are lucky, even spot an elusive bamboo shark or turtle.
We endeavour to provide you the best quality of dive gear in Goa, and ensure you have an experience worth your time and money.
The PADI Open Water Diver course is the most popular scuba diving certification, and for good reason. Valid for life, the internationally-recognised certification is your first step towards a host of underwater adventures!

It is taught using a combination of theory, confined water sessions in the pool, and dives in the ocean and covers all you need to know to dive safely, independent of professional supervision, but with a certified buddy to a maximum depth of 18 metres/60 feet.
Moreover, Goa offers great training conditions for beginners with the ocean being generally calm and the average depth at most sites varying between 8-18 meters.
So, whether you want to travel and dive in new places; or build a career in marine studies; or become a dive professional, the Open Water Diver Course is the perfect gateway to a world of possibilities!
