Advanced Open Water

Your diving adventures continue... Whether you have just been certified, or have logged lots of dives, this course will teach you new skills, improve old ones and build confidence and awareness in scuba diving.

Plan out your Advanced Open Water diving:

In total, there are five dives needed to complete your Advanced Open Water certification, but there are two required dives: Navigation and Deep Dive. Both will take your knowledge and enthusiasm to a whole new level.

Typically, we do not have you complete your Deep Dive the first day, and will use Navigation and one of your chosen elective dives to begin the course. The elective dives are listed below, you will choose a total of 3 to complete your training into the Advanced Open Water Certification level.
- Core Dive #1: Navigation
  
  Builds your skills and confidence navigating under water with your compass.
- Core Dive #2: Deep Dive
  
  Teaches you all about the effects and precautions you must take when diving more than 60 feet.
The elective dives are completely your choice, please select dives you are interested in from the lists below and add those 3 elective dives together with your 2 core dives.

That's all there is to it!

In just a couple of days, you'll be Advanced Open Water certified!
Upgrade For $- w/ Dive Trip

Nitrox Upgrade

A great option that can be added to any dive trip or package. Breathing less nitrogen means you can enjoy longer dives and shorter surface intervals. Upgrade includes the PADI online class e-code (retail value $232 alone!), 2 Nitrox tanks, and dive computer rental. (if needed)

Nitrox (Enriched Air Diver)

The latest way to safely give you more time underwater is Enriched air. Better known as NITROX, this higher oxygen mix of diving gas can make you feel less fatigued and load less nitrogen while, in some cases, significantly increasing your bottom time.

The PADI Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox) course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba course.

Why? Because scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. If staying down longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then don’t hesitate to become an enriched air diver.

If you’re a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver who is at least 12 years old, you can enroll in the Enriched Air Diver Specialty course.
For Only $- 1 Day
Class

Avelo Certification

Imagine a scuba set that's half the weight of your current one, yet gives you more bottom time. Imagine that scuba could provide the freedom and streamlined experience of freediving. Includes Avelo rental gear and e-code (retail value $200) for the online course.

[Learn more]

X

Recreational Avelo Diver (RAD)

The latest way to safely give you more time underwater is Enriched air. Better known as NITROX, this higher oxygen mix of diving gas can make you feel less fatigued and load less nitrogen while, in some cases, significantly increasing your bottom time.

Our course teaches divers everything they need to know to dive the Avelo System.

Here's what's included:

Online theory session (1-2 hours)

Our course builds on concepts you are familiar with from your open water theory and expands on topics that are relevant to Avelo and apply to divers at any level.

When completed, choose any of our dive centers to complete your water session. From the moment you successfully complete the theory session, you will have 90 days to complete the in water component. You can extend the 90 day limit by retaking the quizzes to make sure you are still familiar with all Avelo concepts.

Will any of your divers be flying within 18hrs of any of their dives?

Are there any divers in your group who are under the age of 15 and/or who have a limited certification such as "PADI Scuba Diver"?
