ADVANCED OPEN WATER

Exploration, Excitement, Experiences. They’re what the SDI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. And no, you don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed so you can go straight into it after the SDI Open Water Diver course. The Advanced Open Water Diver course helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your SDI Instructor. This course builds on what you’ve learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun scuba diving. You’ll hone your skills by completing five adventure dives that introduce you to:

​

• Underwater navigation

• Deeper water diving  typically anywhere from 18-30 metres/ 60-100 feet

• Get credit! Each Adventure Dive in the SDI Advanced Open Water Diver course may credit toward the first dive of the corresponding SDI Specialty Diver course.

• A sampler of three more Adventure Dives of your choice....

​

The Fun Part

 

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. You can try your hand at digital underwater photography, wreck diving, diving with underwater scooters, peak performance buoyancy and much more.
