The SEI Advanced Open Water Diver course. This course gives you an additional 5 or 6 dives beyond your open water training and whatever dives you have done since then. We will add to your experience by exposing you to deep dives(100 feet max.), search and recovery, underwater navigation, and night. In addition we'll spend more time in the classroom giving you the information you need to conduct these new dives safely. Depending on your level of comfort and desire to dive this may be the perfect course to plan the direction of your advanced plus course. It will definitely give you more experience and knowledge.
There would be two classroom sessions covering approx. 6-8 hours and
going over navigation, search and recovery, deep diving, gas
management, and night low vis techniques. This would be in addition to
2-3 hours of on site instruction in addition to the dives. An all day classroom option is available on a very limited basis with advance arrangements.
Dives would include- Search and Recovery/: Navigation using compass,
natural, and lines or reels/; Deep ( to 100 feet)/; Night/Lowvis and an Advanced Skills dive covering shooting of bags, propulsion techniques(frog,
back, helicopter turns), uw communication and fine buoyancy control. In addition you will carry and deploy a redundant air supply on at least 2 of the dives.
Note that buoyancy, trim, and proper weighting will be addressed on ALL
dives. In addition a replacement for the search and recovery dive can be tailored to the needs of the individual diver(s). For example a Buddy Skills and Assistance dive is now being offered for those who want to take their buddy skills to the next level.
Prereqs are: OW plus 10 dives or OW and a skills checkout in the pool if I do not know you or your certifying instructor.
Note that this course and all other advanced courses are scheduled according to the needs of the student. I also offer private instruction in advanced courses at no extra charge for tuition. Extraordinary travel (airfare, etc), boat fees and quarry entry fees are the responsibility of the student. Again this course also has a prerequisite of 10 dives post OW cert and may include a skills evaluation pool session and possible ow dives to assess your skills in order to determine if you are indeed ready for Advanced Training.
I offer this course to students in Pittsburgh Pa, Washington Pa, Wheeling West Virginia, and all surrounding areas. In addition the all day classroomn option is available to anyone willing to travel to me. I have had students from South Carolina and Philadelphia make the trip for this course. If you have 4 students who wish to take this course in their own area I can also travel at your expense for this class. Prior advance notice of a min 6 weeks would be required and availability for this is extremely limited at this time.
is for divers who want to expand their knowledge and diving experience to include a variety of diving environments. The course provides an introduction to specialty diving, and features five open water dives, including a night dive. This course is highly recommended for all newly certified Open Water divers, to help them gain experience and comfort in the underwater world.
