Advanced Diver/Adventure Diver
 Do you want to keep diving? Do you want to increase your diving skills and comfort after your Open Water Diver certification class? The Advanced class is your next step, and should be started immediately after the Open Water Diver class. No extra experience is needed. This class will provide you with 5 more training dives with your Instructor, so you become a safer and more competent diver. You will learn to dive to a maximum of 100 feet deep, improve your compass navigation and participate in 3 more specialty dives, which could include boat dives, dry suit dive, drift dive, night dive or many other elective specialty dives. The Advanced course offers you a structured program where you gain additional experience and skills under the guidance of a PADI Professional. If you complete three dives you can earn your PADI Adventure Diver certification. Requirements:
- Must be at least 12 years of age (12-14 is Jr. certification)
- Must be an Open Water or Jr. Open Water diver.
- Minimum Time Commitment: One classroom session and 5 dives over 2 days.
The Adventures in Diving program offers both the Adventure Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver certifications. If you complete your Deep Adventure Dive, Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive and three Adventure Dives for a total of five, you can earn your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
