Advanced Diving

Why continue training beyond Open Water Certification?

Open Water certification is like first learning to drive a car.

  • You have learned the basics and are allowed to drive on your own. But there is still a lot to learn and experience before you become a fully competent driver who is able to comfortably handle different situations.
  • With diving, after your Open Water certification, you become a better, safer, and more comfortable diver with experience and through coaching by a dive professional. The natural progression of formal training is through through the Advanced Open Water course.

Advanced diver expands your knowledge and skills across multiple diving scenarios.

  • 2 of the dives are focused on Deep diving and Underwater Navigation.
  • We'll choose 3 other areas based on your interest—such as Night, Buoyancy, Fish Identification, Wreck, or Drift diving.
