Advanced Open Water

The SSI Advanced Adventurer and PADI Advanced Open Water course at The Little Green Boat is designed for certified divers seeking to enhance their underwater capabilities and explore diverse diving environments. This program builds upon your existing Open Water certification, introducing you to five distinct specialty dives. Two of these are mandatory: Deep Diving, which will extend your depth limit to 30 meters (100 feet), and Underwater Navigation, crucial for confident exploration. The remaining three dives allow for personalization, letting you choose from options like wreck exploration, night diving, or advanced buoyancy control, tailoring the experience to your interests.

These practical training dives are conducted directly from shore, offering a convenient and relaxed setting for skill development. This approach emphasizes hands-on learning and gaining practical experience in various underwater scenarios. The course structure, with small group sizes, ensures you receive personalized instruction and ample opportunity for feedback from your instructor. Upon successful completion, you will be certified to dive to 30 meters and possess a broader understanding of different diving techniques and environments.

This advanced certification serves as a vital stepping stone for those aspiring to pursue further technical or specialized diving certifications, such as Deep Diver or Wreck Diver specialties. It significantly enhances your confidence and autonomy underwater, preparing you for more challenging dives and opening up new possibilities for exploration. The skills acquired are directly applicable to future diving adventures, whether exploring local wrecks or planning trips to renowned dive destinations worldwide.

Participants must hold a recognized Open Water Diver certification or equivalent. While The Little Green Boat provides specialized equipment for certain dives, you will need your own mask, snorkel, fins, and exposure suit. The course fee of 495 USD covers instruction, certification, and the use of specialized equipment for the training dives. The center offers instruction in English, Spanish, and French, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of international divers. This course is an excellent opportunity to refine your diving skills and gain valuable experience under the guidance of experienced professionals.
