โ Need certification first? See Open WaterWhat you'll dive
5 adventure dives, 5 new skills
Each dive in the Advanced course focuses on a different skill โ building your confidence, range and ability as a diver.
Deep Dive
Explore depths beyond the Open Water limit. Learn how depth affects your body, buoyancy, and air consumption โ and experience the eerie stillness of 30 metres.
Navigation Dive
Learn to use your compass and natural landmarks to navigate underwater. Find your way back to the boat without surfacing โ a skill every diver needs.
Night Dive
The reef transforms after dark. Hunting octopus, glowing bioluminescence, lobster, and cuttlefish on the prowl. One of the most memorable dives you'll ever do.
Buoyancy Dive
Perfect neutral buoyancy โ the skill that separates good divers from great ones. Hover effortlessly, move with precision, protect the reef, and use less air.
Wreck Dive
Explore an underwater wreck โ learn wreck navigation, penetration basics, and how to move safely around submerged structures. One of diving's most thrilling experiences.
Premium XDEEP BCD Training
Advanced students train with professional-grade XDEEP BCDs โ the equipment used by technical divers worldwide. Learn the difference quality gear makes.

From Advanced students
What divers say
I did my Open Water here and came back two weeks later for the Advanced. The deep dive to 30m and the night dive are genuinely unforgettable. This team is exceptional.

๐ฉ๐ช Germany ยท Advanced student
I'd been certified for 3 years but never pushed myself further. The Advanced course completely transformed how I dive โ especially the buoyancy dive. Game changer.
Camille B.
๐ซ๐ท France ยท Advanced student
2 students per group means you actually get taught. The instructor knew exactly what I needed to work on and pushed me in the right way. Best course I've done.

Common questions
Advanced Course FAQ
What certification do I need to enrol?+
You need at least an SSI or PADI Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent from any recognised agency). If you're not yet certified, check out our Open Water course โ many students do both back-to-back.
Do I need recent dive experience?+
If you haven't dived in over a year, we recommend a quick refresher dive before starting. We can arrange this โ just mention it when you message us.
Is there a minimum number of logged dives required?+
The SSI Advanced Adventurer course has no minimum logged dive requirement beyond holding an Open Water certification. However, if you have fewer than 10 dives, we may suggest a fun dive warm-up first.
Can I do the Advanced right after my Open Water?+
Yes โ and many of our students do exactly that. You'll need at least one day of rest between courses, but otherwise you can complete both on the same trip.
What if I'm not comfortable with the deep dive?+
We always debrief before and after every dive. If you're nervous about depth, we talk through it first. We never push you beyond your comfort level.
Will I be able to dive anywhere with the Advanced cert?+
Your SSI Advanced Adventurer certification is internationally recognised and lifts your recreational depth limit to 30m. It's accepted at dive centres and liveaboards worldwide.
