Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the Advanced Diver Bundle take to complete? A: Typically 4-6 days total. Advanced Open Water requires 5 adventure dives over 2-3 days, while Nitrox can often be completed in 1 day. We'll work with your schedule to make it convenient.

Q: Can I use nitrox immediately after certification? A: Yes! Your Nitrox certification is valid worldwide immediately upon completion. Many dive operators offer nitrox fills, and it's standard on most liveaboards and dive vacation packages.

Q: Do I need my own equipment for these courses? A: We provide all necessary training equipment. However, we recommend having your own mask, fins, snorkel, boots, and weights for comfort and familiarity. Our gear specialists can help you choose the perfect equipment from top brands like Oceanic, Atomic, Scubapro, and Aqualung.

Q: What's the difference between taking these courses separately vs. the bundle? A: The bundle saves you $227 compared to individual course pricing. Plus, you'll complete both certifications with the same instructor team, ensuring consistent training quality and building on skills progressively.

Q: How soon after Open Water can I take the Advanced course? A: You can start Advanced Open Water immediately after completing Open Water. Many divers take Advanced within 2-3 months to build confidence and skills while their Open Water training is still fresh.

Q: What adventure dives can I choose for Advanced Open Water? A: You'll complete Deep Dive and Navigation (required), plus choose 3 from: Peak Performance Buoyancy, Night Dive, Wreck Dive, Fish Identification, Underwater Photography, Search & Recovery, and more. We'll help you select based on your interests and local diving opportunities.

Q: Is nitrox worth it for South Florida diving? A: Absolutely! South Florida's reefs typically range from 60-80 feet. With nitrox, you'll get significantly longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals - perfect for our two-tank boat dives and multiple-day diving.

Q: What's included in the course fees? A: Everything you need: eLearning access, all training materials, equipment rental during training, instructor fees, and certification processing. The only additional costs might be boat dive fees if you choose boat-based adventure dives.

Q: Can I split the courses and take them at different times? A: Yes, but you'll lose the $227 bundle savings. We recommend completing both together since the skills complement each other perfectly, and you'll be diving regularly to maintain proficiency.

Q: What if I need to reschedule my training? A: We understand life happens! We offer flexible rescheduling options. Just give us as much notice as possible, and we'll work with you to find new dates that fit your schedule.

Q: Do these certifications expire? A: No, PADI certifications never expire. However, if you haven't been diving recently, we recommend a refresher session to ensure you're comfortable and current with your skills.

Q: What's the maximum depth I can dive after Advanced Open Water? A: Advanced Open Water certifies you to dive to 100 feet (30 meters). This opens up many of South Florida's best dive sites, including deeper wrecks and reef formations.

Q: How does this bundle help with Master Scuba Diver certification? A: Master Scuba Diver requires Advanced Open Water, 5 specialty certifications, and 50 logged dives. This bundle gives you Advanced Open Water plus Nitrox (which counts as one specialty), putting you 40% of the way to MSD status!

Q: What's the youngest age for these courses? A: Both courses have a minimum age of 12 years old. Junior divers (12-14) receive Junior certifications with slightly more conservative depth limits until they turn 15.

Q: Do you offer payment plans? A: Contact us to discuss payment options. We want to make advanced diver training accessible and will work with you to find a solution that fits your budget.
