Why take the PADI Advanced
class?
After your five dives,
you'll be more experienced, feel more comfortable
in the water and simply enjoy diving more
because you better understand the underwater
environment.
You will learn the correct way to navigate
so you can return back to the boat or shore,
dive deeper, dive at night, plus you will
be able to select two other elective dives
from those listed below. You will
be doing five dives in one weekend with
two of those off a local Monterey dive boat!
Just $100.00 will hold you a spot for the
next class. Class size is limited.
What do I need to start?
You will need to have
obtained a PADI Open Water Diver certification
or a qualifying certification from another
organization and be at least 15 years
old or 12 years to enroll in the PADI Junior
Advanced Open Water Diver course.
