PADI Advanced Open Water Certification

Advanced Open Water

Open up a whole new world of diving

The Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about advancing your skills. You'll practice navigation and buoyancy, try deep diving and make three specialty dives of your choosing (it's like a specialty sampler platter). For every specialty dive you complete, you can earn credit toward PADI^® specialty certifications.

Here are a few of the many options: Deep, Digital Underwater Photography, Dive Against Debris, Dry Suit, Enriched Air Nitrox, Fish Identification, Night, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Search & Recovery, Underwater Naturalist, Underwater Navigation, and Wreck Diver.

Performance Standards +

All of our PADI courses are designed for a military mindset. Our standards go above the minimum performance standards set by PADI. This includes longer submersion times and advanced long duration scenarios designed to ensure you succeed as a diver. 

THINK Like a Diver

The typical multi-diver course involves a lot of "sit and watch" as you wait your turn to demonstrate skills. During our courses, you'll be consistently tested and coached to create an environment where your mind is active and learning. 

90 Degree Training Pool

Warmth and comfort makes a HUGE difference in pool sessions. Our pool is private and always kept around 90 degrees. Pool sessions are conducted at the Veterans Retreat home in Cudjoe.
