Deep dive, wreck dive, night dive, navigation, fish identification.
To some people this sounds like a dive vacation. We call it our Advanced
Open Water course. This weekend course consists of these five dives, each
one concentrating on a different subject. During this course you will
build on the basic skills you learned in the Open Water course while
learning some new skills and diving in some different environments. Either
call
us or come in. Look at the
calendar
for our upcoming classes.
Exploration, Excitement, Experiences. They’re
what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. And
no, you don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed
so you can go straight into it after the PADI
Open Water Diver course. The Advanced
Open Water Diver course helps you increase your confidence and
build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in
the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt
while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI
Instructor. This course builds on what you’ve learned and
develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities
and new ways to have fun scuba diving.
You’ll hone your skills by completing five adventure dives that
introduce you to:
Deeper water diving (typically anywhere from 60-100 feet)
A sampler of three more Adventure Dives of your choice
The Fun Part: Your Choice
One reason you’ll love the Advanced Open Water Diver course is
that you and your instructor choose from 15 types of Adventure
Dives to complete your course. You can try your hand at digital
underwater photography, wreck
diving, and
much more.
