Recently completed your Open Water training? Many newly-certified divers feel rightfully proud of their accomplishment but lack the experience and confidence to continue to explore recreational diving on their own. Advanced Open Water (AOW) is a great way to continue diving under Instructor supervision.
Looking forward to a vacation dive trip and learned that the resort will require Advanced certification? There are plenty of dive opportunities shallower than sixty feet but there is also great diving deeper and in more challenging conditions. Wrecks and Walls often don't even begin until depths greater than beginner divers have experienced. Destinations like Cozumel are famous for their deep dives. This is another great reason for taking the AOW course - to meet the requirements to go on the advanced boat and enjoy more diverse experiences.
