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.

The majority of the course is practical application. You will also attend one classroom session. The only prerequisite is that you be a certified Open Water Diver. Special items that are mandatory for this class are:

• Underwater slate & pencil
• Underwater light (necessary for night and deeper dives)
• Compass
• Chemical Light stick or Equivalent
• Underwater Timing Device
• Whistle or other signaling device
• Knife or divers tool

                                                                                           What if I don't have time for a traditional class?
