As a certified diver, you’ve already discovered diving is more than an end in itself. Scuba diving is a vehicle to a wide range of activities and skills that create adventure, fun and recreation for a wide variety of people. You may have an interest in taking photos or shooting video above water, and maybe you want to bring that hobby underwater. Maybe you enjoy exploring National Forests or geo-caching. Those interests may translate to underwater adventures including wreck diving or search and recovery.
That’s what the PADI Advanced Open Water course is all about! Giving you a taste of different underwater activities, while improving your foundation skills and making diving more enjoyable and safer for you and your buddies.
