The SSI Advanced Open Water Diver course is designed to make you a more confident, capable diver through five open-water training dives focused on real diving conditions — not just theory.

This course is ideal for divers who want to build skills.

Training Dives:

Deep Diving

Learn how to plan and execute deeper dives safely, including gas management, buoyancy control, and depth-related awareness.

Navigation 

Develop strong compass and natural navigation skills so you can confidently return to exits, lines, or ascent points — even in limited visibility.

Perfect Buoyancy

Improve trim, weighting, hovering, and fin control. This dive dramatically improves air consumption, stability, and overall comfort underwater.

Night & Limited Visibility

Build confidence diving with lights, maintaining buddy contact, and managing task loading in low-light or low-visibility conditions — perfect for quarry diving.

Search & Recovery

Learn effective search patterns, reel use, and basic lift bag techniques. This is a hands-on, skill-focused dive that builds problem-solving ability and situational awareness.
