Advanced Open Water

Service Description

Requirements: Open Water Divers who are at least 12 years old can enroll in this course. If you have Junior Open Water Divers under the age of 12, they can enroll in our PADI Adventure Diver course. This will get them started with their training until they are old enough to safely dive to the deeper depths required for the Advanced certification. ​If you already hold a PADI Adventure Diver certification, you only need to complete two more Adventure Dives to earn the Advanced Open Water Diver certification. ​The Learning: ​You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives – Deep and Underwater Navigation – and you choose the other three, for a total of five dives. You may choose from these dives: Buoyancy, Wreck, Search and Recovery, Rescue, Night, Photography, Enriched Air, Fish Identification, Rescue, and others. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving, 60 to 100 feet. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive refines your compass navigation skills and helps you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks, and time. The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have – photography, buoyancy control, night diving, exploring wrecks, search and recovery, delayed surface marker buoy and more.
