Exploration, Excitement, Experiences - That’s what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. You don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. You try out different specialties while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new ways to have fun scuba diving.

What you will learn:
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.
The two required dives:
Deep - During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving.
Underwater Navigation – During the Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive will refine your compass navigation skills and help you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time.
The other 3 dives. Since, we are limited with the Homestead Crater (can't really do a boat dive up there) the 3 dives we offer are:
Peak-Performance Buoyancy - You will learn how to determine the exact weight you need, so you're not too light or too heavy. To trim your weight system and scuba gear so you're perfectly balanced in the water. By practicing a good trim position in the the water will help you to save energy, use air more efficiently, and move more smoothly through the water.
Altitude - Learning to adjust your dive plan for the reduced surface pressure at altitude is an important part of the course. You’ll also learn Altitude dive planning, organization, procedures and techniques.
Night - Scuba diving at night teaches you to focus on what you can see in your light’s beam, on controlling your buoyancy by feel, on staying with your buddy and on paying attention to details you may overlook during the day. You will also go over basic light handling and communication techniques.
Prices subjected to change without notice.
