What’s Next?
A few courses that go great with, or perfectly follow, Advanced Open Water.
Peak Performance Buoyancy
Learn about ideal weighting and trim as well as hydrodydamic equipment configurations and finning techniques. Hang motionless, glide effortlessly, get closer to sea life, and save air and energy.
Enriched Air Diver
Many consider Enriched Air (or Nitrox) the best thing to happen to recreational diving. Longer bottom times, shorter surface intervals, and wider safety margins are a few of the reasons Nitrox has taken the diving world by storm!
Rescue Diver
In Advanced Open Water you learned to look beyond yourself and enjoy the underwater world. Now, you’ll learn to look out for other divers around you, offer assistance when needed, and spot potential issues early to help avoid problems!
