Advanced Open Water DiverThe Next LEvel

The adventure continues! The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course is designed to start immediately after you have completed your beginning level open water course. The Advanced Open Water Diver course helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable and competent in the water. This is a great way to gain experience and learn new techniques while under the supervision of your PADI instructor.

You start by completing three Adventure Dives which earns you the PADI Adventure Diver Certification. Next you complete two core dives of Deep and Underwater Navigation to earn your PADI Advanced Certification. By combining your 5 dives into one program, your underwater awareness and comfort with your equipment is greatly enhanced.
