Advanced Diver Course

Welcome to the most common next step in your scuba diving journey. This certification expands on your open water knowledge & gives you a sample of 5 different continuing education courses where you experience the first dive in each course. When complete, the certification dives will count towards both getting your advanced certification as well as that course specialty, if you pursue it. Mandatory dives are deep & navigation, and you may select at least 2 – 3 in-water dives (4 of the 5 classes must be in water).
