Open Water Certified
2 or 3 Day Advanced Course $649
This scuba course includes certified boat dives, rental gear, instruction, and certification fees. Digital learning is purchase directly through PADI.com separately.
Note: we do not recommend the PADI Advanced Open Water course. Not because of the training, which is almost identical to the SSI Advanced course, but because of the higher price point. The SSI Advanced course is $649 and includes the digital learning in the price.
Included in this course are five adventure scuba dives under the direct supervision of the instructor, like deep, drift, boat, and wreck dives, as well as the useful navigation dives, at some at our favorite Oahu dive sites.
These required five scuba dives can be completed on two charters, (one 2 Tank Charter and a Sunday 3 Tank Charter), at our Hawaii dive shops. However, you can add an additional boat charter and space your scuba diving out over 3 days. You may be able to finish a whole specialty course on the sixth dive of your Advanced scuba diving course if you are pursuing the Master Diver rating.
Types of Adventure Dives in the course can include:
Wreck, Search and Recovery, Navigation, Drift Dives, and Deep Dives
