ADVANCED DIVER

Exploration, Excitement, Experiences. This is what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about and you can proceed upon completion of your Open Water Certification.

The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. You will participate in different specialty dives while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. You log dives, while increasing your confidence and building your scuba skills and capabilities, while becoming more comfortable in the water.

THE FUN PART: CHOOSING YOUR SPECIALITIES

One reason you’ll love the Advanced Open Water Diver course is that you and your instructor choose from 15+ types of Adventure Dives to complete your course. This is a great way to get more dives in your log book while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. This course builds upon what you’ve already learned in the OWC.

At FLOAT N FLAG the Adventure Dives we generally offer locally include Navigation, Night, Deep, DSMB and Peak Performance Buoyancy. These specialties best represent the type of diving most of our divers participate in, given our local environment and overall exposure to a varying cross section of diving conditions. These also include the mandatory dives required for PADI Advanced Open Water Certification.

The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have – photography, buoyancy control, fish identification, exploring wrecks and many more. Where will your thirst for adventure take you?
