Advanced Open Water SCUBA Diver

$500

This continuing education course for certified divers is a program designed to introduce and aid divers in gaining experience in a variety of open-water diving activities. Participants will complete six dives; three must be in night/limited visibility, navigation, and deep (beyond 18msw/60fsw within recreational limits). Graduates of this course are considered competent to engage in open water diving activities without supervision, provided the diving environment, activities, areas dived, and equipment approximate those of training.  

If not already Nitrox certified, this course will be bundled with Nitrox. This course provides divers with the skills to utilize EANx as a breathing medium.
