Advanced Open Water

Congratulations on taking this important step towards greater enjoyment in the water, and improving your skills as a diver. By increasing your knowledge, Scuba Diving will become more natural. In the Advanced course you will make two "core" or required dives: navigation and deep. You will also make three "elective" dives that you choose with the guidance of your PADI Instructor. Not all elective dives can be done in a particular location.

Valuable skills will be learned when this course is finished. The course is designed to be taken directly after the basic Open Water Course. Below is a list of important skills that can be learned after getting your advanced certification.

Estimate distance and navigate underwater using natural navigation and compass navigation.
Dive at night with increased awareness and comfort.(Optional)
Be able to perform deep dives with a greater degree of safety.
"Search and Recovery" to find lost objects, or sunken treasure (elective).
"Underwater Photography" to capture great photos (elective).
"Altitude Dive" explore your favorite mountain lake (elective).
Many other electives to choose from.
