After completing your PADI Open Water Diver course, you probably realized there’s a lot more to diving than getting your certification. Open Water certification is just the beginning of learning how to dive. The PADI Advanced Open Water course fine-tunes your skills and introduces you to some of the other aspects of diving. With no classroom time, most of the learning you do will be hands on and the dives can be completed in one weekend.

What Is Involved?
You will complete a total of five “Adventure dives” over two days, each one targeting a unique set of skills. Before each dive, your instructor will do a brief review of what you’ve learned in the book at the dive site.

  • Self-study – When you sign up for the course, we’ll tell you which adventure dives you’ll be doing. You’ll read five chapters out of the Advanced Open Water textbook correlating to those adventures dives. You’ll also complete 5 knowledge reviews on these chapters.
  • Adventure Dives
    • There two required dives for this course are:
      •  Underwater Navigation – practice using your compass and performing swim patterns to get your bearings underwater.
      • Deep Dive – expand your open water depth limits to 100 feet by diving to 60 feet (dive to 100 feet is optional).
    • Three other dives will be chosen from 15 different options, based on the dive site. Some of the adventure dives we have done for this course are:
      •  Peak Performance Bouyancy – work on perfecting your buoyancy through a variety of skills such as hovering, swimming through hoops, etc.
      • Night – learn the techniques used in night diving, practice diving with a dive light, and experience the night life of fish!
      • Search & Recovery – this underwater treasure hunt will allow you to use search patterns, line reels, and lift bags to bring items up off the bottom.
      • Dry Suit – try your hand at diving dry with demo drysuits at DUI Days.
      • Wreck – come with us on our wreck diving weekend in Munising, MI and explore underwater ships in Lake Michigan.
      • Boat – while diving off a boat is fun and opens up new dive spots, it can offer challenges. Learn helpful techniques and procedures in boat diving.
      • Underwater Photography – fine tune your photography skills and learn how to produce fantastic underwater photos.

Some Adventure Dives may have other equipment requirements such as a primary and back-up light for the night dive.  All of these items are available for purchase or rental at Klein Scuba.
