IT’S A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE!!

The PADI AOW  program provides divers with a structured means to explore special diving interests and gain dive experience.  Participating in the AOW Class is often the first step novice divers take after their initial certification.  However, all divers benefit from the program's flexibility and the opportunity it provides for discovery and exploration, no matter how long you've been diving with possibly 100's of dives under your belt.  A good diver is always learning..

Prerequisite for this program is completion of the Open Water Certification Course. The program consists of five (5) Specialty Dives. The five Dives will vary from time to time. The Dives may include some of the following:

Altitude Diver
Boat Diver
Deep Diver
Enriched Air Diver
Equipment Specialist
Night Diver
Underwater Naturalist
Underwater Navigation Diver
Underwater Photography/Videography
Underwater Search & Recovery Diver
Wreck Diver

After completion of five dives, you’ll receive your Advanced Openwater Certification card.

Class Tuition cost = $189.  Course Materials = $39+tax, Charter Boat spot = $90.

PADI Certification Card = $30+tax.

We think by completing this program you will be a much more confident & skilled diver. Remember...your Open Water Certification card is really a license to continue learning to be a better diver.  The Advanced Diver Cert is your next step in your continuing diver education series of instruction.
