Advanced Open Water Diver Course

The Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about advancing your skills. You’ll practice navigation and buoyancy, try deep diving and make three specialty dives of your choosing (it’s like a specialty sampler platter). For every specialty dive you complete, you can earn credit toward PADI® specialty certifications.

Here are a few of the many options: Enriched Air Nitrox, Deep, Fish Identification, Night, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Digital Underwater Imaging, Search & Recovery, Underwater Naturalist, Underwater Navigation, Dive Against Debris, Dry Suit, and Wreck Diver.

Prerequisites: Open Water Diver/Junior Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification)

Total time commitment: ~2-3 days

Minimum age: 12 years or older

Depth: maximum depth varies by age, up to 30m/100ft for divers age 15 and older.

Additional items necessary: You will need to purchase or rent mask, fins, booties, and snorkel. I can assist you with finding quality gear locally at a reasonable price (I HIGHLY recommend against purchasing cheap snorkel packages online as they are normally not suitable for scuba diving).
