Advanced & Beyond

The PADI Advanced Open-Water course exposes the diver to 5 different speciality areas of diving. There are 2 mandatory dives required to receive your Advanced rating...that’s a deep dive to 30 meters and a navigation dive where we use compasses to swim patterns underwater. The other three required dives can be from any specialty area you chose from wreck diving to underwater photography. Regardless of the specialty, all specialized equipment is provided at no extra charge!!!
