Advanced & Specialty Classes
Your Open Water Certification
means that you were trained how to use basic scuba equipment,
and you have the minimum skills required to go diving. However,
many dive operators often specify particular dives, usually deeper
and more challenging ones, as advanced dives and therefore require
the divers to hold an Advanced Certification before allowing
particapation in the dive.
If you have logged atleast
24 dives, and have successfully completed 4 specialty training
courses, all of which have to be conducted in an Open Water environment,
then you have what it takes to be called an Advanced Diver and
can apply for S.S.I.'s Advanced Diver Card.
If you have logged atleast
50 dives, and have successfully completed 4 specialty training
courses and a Stress & Rescue course, then you have what
it takes to be called a Master Diver and can apply for S.S.I.'s
Master Diver Card.
Advanced

Our Core Advanced Diver Program is designed to continue where our Open Waster Diver Course left off. Our experienced Instructors will sharpen your buoyancy skills, teach you night diving and limited visibility techniques and improve your underwater compass and natural navigation skills.

There will be a total of 6 dives covering 3 specialties. Card will be issued after completion of Core Advanced course, one additional Specialty course of your choice and a total of 24 logged dives.

Nitrox Diving
For the average sport diver, using Nitrox can greatly increase bottom time on dives 40' to 130'. Wreck divers can get more dive time without having to do a decompression dive and reef divers can squeeze more dives into a trip. Includes training on planning dives with both tables and dive computers.
