Take your diving skills to the next level with the SSI Advanced Open Water Diver program! Designed for certified Open Water Divers, this course gives you the opportunity to explore five different areas of advanced diving training under the direct supervision of a qualified SSI Instructor.
The program includes five Open Water training dives, allowing you to experience different diving environments, develop new skills and gain confidence underwater.
Two dives are mandatory:
- Deep Diving: Learn the fundamentals of planning and conducting deeper dives safely.
- Navigation: Improve your underwater navigation skills using a compass and natural navigation techniques.
You will then choose three additional specialties from the available SSI programs, such as Perfect Buoyancy, Wreck Diving, Night & Limited Visibility, Boat Diving, Search & Recovery, or Waves, Tides & Currents.
Before each dive, your SSI Instructor will provide a detailed briefing covering the objectives, skills, equipment and safety procedures.
Upon successful completion of all academic and in-water requirements, you will receive your SSI Advanced Open Water Diver certification, allowing you to dive to a recommended maximum depth of 30 metres with an equally or more qualified buddy, within the limits of your training and experience.
Your training dives can also be credited towards the corresponding full SSI Specialty programs if you decide to continue your diving education in the future.
Prerequisites: Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent from a recognised training agency).
Minimum age: 12 years.
