General Description
Advanced Open Water Diver Course
The Advanced Open Water Diver is a course for certified divers, with a basic certification level (Open Water or equivalent). It is a very practical course, oriented at dive experiences, dive skills, and having fun. The course has some classroom-style learning usually done online, and it includes 5 specialty dives. Each dive concentrates on a different experience or skill.
Two of the five dives are mandatory specialties, Deep diving, and Underwater Navigation, while the other 3 specialties can be chosen from a list of about 25 specialties.
This is a highly recommended course for beginners and intermediates alike to get formal training in Deep Diving, Underwater Navigation, and similar necessary skills. It is possible to take the Advanced course right after the Open Water Diver course or to get some experience first and take the course after getting a few dives in your logbook.
Testimonials
“Great Diving and Team !!!”
My hubby and I dived with Manta Scuba back in June. All the staff were fabulous!!! They made us feel welcome, and more importantly safe on our dives. I was able to work with an instructor and revived my Underwater Photography certification while there. We dived in three locations. All had sealife, including boxfish, sharks, sea lions, pencil fish and Manta rays. Great company and highly recommended!!!!
“Excellent Experience with Manta Scuba”
To start, my husband and I are advanced Scuba Divers. We have dived all over the world. Manta Scuba was excellent: professional, easy booking and pymt, gear in great condition (we had brand new tanks!) and excellent staff. Because we booked a 3 tank dive day (corridor and local), we actually ended up having the boat and our dive master Brendan to ourselves. What a treat!! We got to go for as long and wherever we wanted!! Brendan (our hunky South African divemaster) was friendly, safe, and showed us lots of cool stuff. The best dive by far was a “local” spot where we got to dive with the sea lions near the arch!! That dive ended with a great shipwreck…honestly one of the coolest dives. We give 5+ stars for our amazing experience. Thanks Manta!!
