If you need to finish up a dive or want to earn a new certification such as Nitrox Certification , Wreck Diver Certification, Deep Diver, Night Diver, Search and Recovery Diver, U/W photo Diver, Underwater Hunter Diver, Underwater Navigator, Drift Diver, Boat Diver, Underwater Videographer, Diver Propulsion Vehicle this is a great time to join us.
In the Advanced Open Water Class you will be introduced to Deep diving, Night diving, Wreck diving, Search & Recovery diving and will practice your advanced Underwater Navigation. The AOW Class gets you 5 more dives with the instructor and dive masters. Studies have shown that divers who have the AOW Certification under their belt are more likely to continue diving, whereas dives with only Open Water Certification are more likely to not be as active a diver.
The cost for the AOW Certification is $ 195 plus Boat fees .
There is no exam as in the Open Water class, the AOW class is a hands on class; watch a video, read a section about the dive, discuss the type of dive and then go do it (NO TEST!)

Room rate is $ tbd per night single or double occ. (be mindful of checkout time to avoid being charged for an extra day). Other lodging is available at higher rates.
To travel from the airport to Marathon we will rent cars and share the expense; 2, 3, or 4 persons per car.

Water Temp in Aug is in the mid 80’s (The boat Captain believes it should be about 88) so 2-mm shorty suit should make you comfortable and protect your skin from the nylon straps of the BCD
