Advanced Open Water Diver Course

The Advanced Open Water Diver Course is an experience oriented course designed to give you practical experience in a number of specialty diving areas. Through our Monterey facility you will participate in one day of shore diving and one day of boat diving in the beautiful, Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary.

You will begin by reading the requisite academic materials at home on your own time.  The material will then be reviewed with your instructor prior to your water training sessions. The objective of the course is to give you as much in water time as possible in which to perfect your diving skills.

Dive Requirements;

Advanced certification requires a minimum of five dives to be done over two days. If you have Instructor signed documentation of Advanced Level dives, we will credit you with the dives completed. You may not need all five dives to obtain the Advanced Certification.

It is recommended that divers have their own gear for the Advanced Program.  However, if you do not yet have your own gear we will provide any gear you need at no charge for use in the course.

Rescue Diver Course

The Scuba Schools Rescue Diver Course gives you the opportunity to expand your knowledge of diving and increase your level of diving skill. It makes you more aware of what is happening around you in the diving environment.

The course is designed to develop the necessary knowledge and skills for you to effectively perform diver rescues and assists, manage diving accident situations and render proper first aid. Rescue Diver certification is also an important prerequisite for the Divemaster rating, the first professional diver rating, and the distinguished Master Scuba Diver rating, the highest nonprofessional rating in scuba diving. Most importantly, rescue training can help you save lives and increase diving's already excellent safety record by preparing you to respond properly to diving emergencies and near emergencies.
