Now that you have learned the basics of Open Water, it’s time for the real adventure dives to begin!! The Advanced Open Water course is the next step to take to keep you on a path of learning, safety and exploration under the guidance of an experienced PADI Professional. With no required classroom work, test taking, or pool sessions, you will earn your Advanced Open Water certification with 100% hands-on practical learning in the Ocean environment!
Book your Advanced Open Water Course and receive your Adventures in Diving manual. This manual explains every course dive and lets you pre-study the safety rules and skill techniques. Your PADI Instructor will discuss your preferences to build a customized schedule for your Adventure Dives. Of the 6 ocean dives offered, there are only two required – Deep and Underwater Navigation. Upon designing your schedule, you will choose the other four adventure dives with the help and insight of your instructor. Depending on experience, we typically start learning skills on a shallow reef dive to work on buoyancy and navigation skills while building up to the deeper and more advanced dives later in the course that require more theory and greater understanding of your dive computer.
Unlike the Open Water Course that required much pre-studying, this Advanced Course has less studying with a more practical hands-on learning approach. The advanced course NOT require any classroom time, written exams, or pool sessions. It’s all fun adventure diving!!
