Advanced Scuba Diver — Freshwater Springs

You've got the basics. Now go beyond. Three days in the clear water of Blue Grotto and Paradise Springs that turn a new diver into a comfortable one: six training dives covering deep (to 130 ft), navigation, and night, plus three electives built around your goals, such as buoyancy, full face mask, 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 night is classroom and paperwork at the shop. Saturday we meet at Blue Grotto for three dives, including the night dive. Sunday we dive Blue Grotto again or head to Paradise Springs for the deep dive. Dates don't fit? Reach out and we'll build the course around your schedule.

Includes NAUI eLearning (complete it before the course), tanks and air fills for every dive, wetsuit, lead weights, and certification. Not included: lodging (affordable cabins are available at Blue Grotto) and your personal dive gear. BCD, regulator, and computer rentals are available, and you'll need a slate and dive lights for the night dive.

Prerequisites: Open Water certification; age 10 and up.
