ADVANCED OPEN WATER

This course can be taken after completing the Open Water Diver certification. It’s titled Advanced Open Water Diver because it advances your diving knowledge & skills

That’s what the Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. You don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. You try out different specialties while gaining experience under the supervision of your Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new ways to have fun scuba diving.

Get credit! Each Adventure Dive may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding Specialty Diver Course. If you’ve already taken a specialty diver course, ask your instructor if you’ve earned credit for an Adventure Dive.

The prerequisite for this course: Must be a certified open water diver who wants to enhance diving skills and dive deeper. This course requires e-Learning curriculum prior to instructional diving. 

The specialties we focus on: deep diver, peak performance buoyancy,  navigation, drift diving, and boat diving. Wreck Diving is optional. 

Following completion of your online curriculum, please contact us to schedule your in person instruction and advanced open water dives. 

(Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 12 years old are ready to step up and enroll in an Advanced Open Water Diver course. Young divers may only participate in certain Adventures Dives – check with your PADI Instructor.
