This is a good all around reference for those folks who have been certified but lack significant diving experience. Does a nice job of giving a broad outline of numerous diving facets.
You're a certified Open Water Scuba Diver and have a desire to increase your skill level so you may participate in more challenging and interesting dives. Maybe you want to see what it is like to dive at night, maybe what's instore for you when swimming on a historic wreck, or maybe increasing your depth limitations to deeper the 60' (18 meters). Whatever you're next diving adventure, feel better trained and increase your diving comfort by taking a Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) Advanced Open Water Dive Course.
Manual covers all required material on core dive selections such as deep and navigation diving along with multiple elective dives to complete this 5 dive program. Elective dives choices can be night, peak performance buoyancy control, search and recovery, boat, dry-suit, photography and many more. The Manual includes the PADI Data Carrier Water Proof Card.

Does this include the knowledge review questions?
DAVID F
Yes, after each chapter. This book is helpful as you can always refer back to it. I'm an advanced open water diver with years of experience but I still refer back to my basic knowledge. It makes much more sense to me now and the info has served me to never panic, always remember your training!
ANDREW S
Yes they are after each Chapter like the open water Padi Manual
NAT A

I bought this book some 4 yr ago ( 2011), It probably hasn't changed much as far as the information and subject matter, but it's Second Edition, version 2.09 if that helps
SEAN D

Is this the only training material I need for the PADI Advanced Open Water cert?
DAVID S
you will also need an erdp, and a diver tune up, for this, rescue diver and dive master.
JERRY M
Even though I am a PADI certified diver I also used the NAUI Advanced Open Water material and benefited from both.
DENNIS B
It has the Manual and Data Carrier which is required for the Adventures in Diving Course, you will need to have your log book. PADI Adventures in Diving video is recommended and may be shown by your PADI Instructor during the course.
MIKE N
Assuming PADI has made no changes to the program since 2009, yes this is all you need. Enjoy.
KARI C
Yes, It was the only training material I needed when I received my Advanced Open Water certification
