You've got the basics. Now go beyond, in the ocean. The same NAUI Advanced Scuba Diver course, run on Florida's best boat diving: six training dives covering deep (to 130 ft), navigation, and night, plus three electives built around your goals, such as wreck, buoyancy, drift, or search and recovery. Groups of four or fewer mean real coaching on every dive. Advanced is also your gateway to Rescue, Master Diver, and tech.

How it runs: Friday 6 to 9 PM at the shop for classroom, paperwork, and gear check. Saturday we travel to the site for two afternoon boat dives, a twilight dive, and a night dive. Sunday morning boat dives, then log them and head home. Sites are picked with you and your instructor by interest and conditions: the Florida Keys, Boynton Beach, Pompano Beach, and more across South Florida. Final site and departure times are confirmed closer to the weekend.

The course fee covers professional instruction, NAUI eLearning access, certification processing, all required gas fills, wetsuit rental, and lead weights. Dive boat fees are extra and paid separately to the boat, and travel, lodging, and your personal dive gear are on you. BCD, regulator, and computer rentals are available, and you'll need a slate, dive lights, and an SMB with reel for the boat dives. Ask us about transportation, rentals, and lodging.

Prerequisites: Open Water certification; age 10 and up.
