PADI Advanced Open Water + Nitrox Bundle

Ready to take your diving skills to the next level? This top-rated PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification combined with Nitrox specialty training is exactly what you need to become a more confident, capable underwater explorer. Over two action-packed days with three boat trips, you'll work alongside our experienced PADI instructors to master essential advanced techniques that'll open up a whole new world of diving opportunities. At $799, this bundle gives you serious bang for your buck - combining two sought-after certifications that usually cost way more when taken separately. We keep our groups intimate with just 8 divers maximum, so you get the personal attention you deserve while building skills that'll last a lifetime.

Beneath the Surface

This isn't your typical classroom-heavy course - we believe the best learning happens underwater. You'll spend most of your time actually diving, practicing real skills in real conditions with instructors who know these waters like the back of their hand. The two-day program includes three separate boat trips, giving you variety in dive sites and conditions that'll make you a well-rounded diver. Each day starts early with gear checks and dive planning, then we head out to carefully selected sites where you can safely push your limits. The vibe is relaxed but professional - we're here to challenge you just enough to grow your confidence without overwhelming you. Between dives, you'll debrief with your instructor, ask questions, and get personalized tips based on what they observed during your underwater performance. The small group size means everyone gets individual feedback, and slower learners never feel rushed while quick picks get extra challenges to keep things interesting.

Dive Brief & Gear Info

Your Advanced Open Water training focuses on five core adventure dives that build real-world skills every serious diver needs. The deep dive and underwater navigation components are mandatory - these teach you how to safely explore depths down to 100 feet and find your way around underwater without getting turned around. For your three elective specialty dives, you can choose from wreck diving, drift diving, underwater photography, or other specialties depending on local conditions and your interests. Each dive has specific learning objectives, but don't worry - this isn't about memorizing textbook answers. It's about developing muscle memory and intuitive skills that'll serve you well on future dive trips. The Nitrox portion teaches you to safely use enriched air, which extends your bottom time and reduces surface intervals between dives. You'll need to complete the PADI eLearning modules before showing up - this covers the theory so we can focus our boat time on actual diving rather than sitting around talking about tables and formulas. All tanks, weights, snacks, and drinking water are included, plus we have quality rental gear available if you don't own everything yet. Our boats are equipped with proper first aid equipment, oxygen, and communication devices because safety always comes first.

Marine Life You'll See

The deeper waters you'll explore during your Advanced Open Water training open up encounters with marine life that shallow reef divers rarely get to see. Larger pelagic species often cruise these mid-water zones, including various shark species that patrol the edges of reefs and drop-offs. These magnificent predators are typically curious but cautious around divers, offering world-class photo opportunities for those practicing their underwater photography skills. Depending on the season, you might encounter schooling fish in massive formations - watching thousands of jacks or barracuda move as one organism is something that never gets old, no matter how many dives you've logged. The wreck diving portion of your training introduces you to artificial reef systems where marine life behaves differently than on natural reefs. Fish tend to be more concentrated around these structures, and you'll often see species that prefer the shelter and hunting opportunities that wrecks provide. Night diving, if available as one of your elective adventures, reveals a completely different cast of characters as nocturnal hunters emerge and daytime reef fish settle in for rest. Octopuses become active, crustaceans venture out of hiding spots, and the entire reef ecosystem transforms before your eyes.

Plan Your Next Dive

This certification bundle sets you up for dive adventures worldwide that regular Open Water divers simply can't access. With Advanced Open Water and Nitrox credentials, you'll qualify for the vast majority of recreational dive trips, wreck penetrations, and deeper reef explorations that make diving addictive. The skills you develop here - proper buoyancy control, navigation confidence, and deep diving safety protocols - will make you a welcome addition to any dive boat crew. Local dive operators notice divers who move efficiently underwater, consume air conservatively, and don't need constant supervision, and that's exactly what this training delivers. Your deposit locks in your spot and stays valid for a full year, so you can book now and schedule your training when it works best for your calendar. Just remember that deposits are nonrefundable, so make sure you're committed before putting money down. The eLearning component gives you flexibility to study at your own pace, but don't wait until the last minute - there's real content to absorb, and rushing through it means you'll miss important concepts that keep you safe underwater. Ready to join the ranks of Advanced Open Water divers? Your underwater world is about to get a whole lot bigger and more exciting. Book your spot today and start planning where you'll use these new skills first.
