This course allows individuals to learn about specialties and diving activities of particular interest. Your confidence and skill as a diver will increase while you experience the excitement of learning more about the underwater world.

To earn the Advanced Diver certification, students must complete each of the five diving activities listed below, and go through the required academic material.

Advanced Diver Course Outline

NAVIGATION DIVING

One of the most important underwater skills is navigating. Learning to find your way around underwater is important for dive planning and safety. You will learn advanced compass navigation skills along with learning how to use the natural bottom contour. This will ensure your confidence by knowing your location on every dive.

NIGHT DIVING

Learn how the underwater world changes at night. See things differently at night and also see how marine life changes when the sun goes down. You will learn how to plan your entry and exit points properly so you will have a fun and safe night diving experience.

EXPLORATION & UNDERWATER MAPPING

Ever want to map out an area underwater so that you know where everything is? During this course, you will learn how to “Explore” and “Map” out areas during your dive. You’ll work with others to create your “own” map of sorts in this fun and exciting course!

SMALL BOAT DIVING

This dive will allow you to experience the fun of local small-boat diving while you dive the waters of Western New York. You’ll be earning credit towards your Advanced Certification while learning safe boat diving techniques.

DEEP DIVING

Want to learn how to dive deep whether you’re diving locally or on vacation? Join us in Key Largo where we’ll do a local shipwreck and teach you the right way on how to safely dive deeper! If you’re unable to make it to Key Largo in ’24, you can look to join us in ’25 during our Key Largo trip!
