Advanced Open Water Diver Course (ADV301)

Prerequisites: Open Water Diver Course or equivalent.

Knowledge: The intent of this training is to help you to become an Advanced Diver. The material covered in this course is intended to help you gain more dive experience with the benefit of being supervised by a certified SCUBA Training Professional. It includes a self-study guide and some home study to be completed and reviewed before your open water dives. This course builds on the material you were presented with in your open water certification course.

Skills: The Advanced Open Water Diver training dives will introduce you to a variety of popular specialty diving areas, including dive experiences in deep diving, night diving and underwater navigation, wreck and boat diving as well as buoyancy control practice at deeper depths. This course thoroughly covers the area of compass usage underwater to enable you to know where you are at any given point in the dive. However, the emphasis of this level of instruction is to provide you with a wide range of dive experiences which will enable you to gain a level of independence that will ensure you achieve a safer more pleasurable level of diver competence.
