Padi Advanced Open Water the next step to enjoying diving by increasing skills of the Diver.

We highly recommend Peak Performance Buoyancy and Night Diver leaving the last Adventure choice to the students.

advanced open water
specialties Yes, the ocean is vast and there is plenty to see above sixty ft, but for those
wanting to experience what lies even deeper, a new world of dive sites
becomes accessible to the Padi Deep Diver.  Wrecks, walls, and specific ecosystems sometimes require a deeper dive of up to 130'.  The Padi recreational limit and training depth for Deep Diver.

For divers, using a compass is a skill that requires practice both on land and underwater.  With a Padi Scuba Instructors direction, navigation can be a much easier concept.  Always know where to go with American Pro Diving Centers Padi Underwater Navigation Course. The Padi Advanced Open Water class offers a try of this specialty.

The Weightlessness of scuba diving is often referred to as “inner space”: because neutral buoyancy creates the closest feeling of being in outer space a non-astronaut can achieve.  Swimming through hoola-hoops, mastering hovering, and recovering items upside-down are just a few of the fun skills that Padi Peak Performance Buoyancy has to offer.

Not only is Search and Recovery fun, it might also be profitable.  Locating lost valuables underwater and bringing them to the surface may be very difficult, but the techniques mastered in American Pro Diving Centers S & R class are taught by scuba instructors that have real in-field experience.  Learn the trade and your education can be greatly valued by divers and non-divers alike.

In this day and age digital cameras are everywhere and taking pictures or video is easier than ever.  Maintaining underwater housing, setting optimum resolution, and correcting exposure for contrast are just a few of the topics covered in PADI Underwater Digital Photography course and Videography course.

 

As light is always visible in this type of overhead environment, Cavern diving is a safe and affordable way to enjoy cave-like conditions, without the need for buying expensive gear.  Learn how to run reels, frog kick and other cave diving techniques without ever leaving the comfort zone of natural light.

 

For divers who are Discovery Channel nuts or National Geographic fanatics, PADI Underwater Naturalist and Fish Identification is a great way to increase a knowledge base for underwater ecosystems.  More specifically, divers are introduced to the wildlife of Florida freshwater springs habitats, which are extremely unique.

 

Experiencing only what your light sheds its glow upon, Night Diving gives a diver a knew perspective on the sport.  Night divers mesmerize fish and other wildlife with artificial light, allowing encounters to become much closer than they are in the daytime.

 

This specialty is truly unique to the area.  Because of the large flux of West Indian Manatees to Crystal River and Homosassa River every year, American Pro Diving Center took initiative and created the first Manatee Awareness Specialty, where customers learn the biological and  geographical facts about this amazing creature.

 

The Recreational Dive Planner (RDP) is very limiting, conservative, a diver descending down to 100 feet must come up after 20 minutes. While divers with dive computers spend more time at different depths on the way back up, so can multi-level divers due to the calculated adjustments of nitrogen levels that the wheel allows, so learn how.

No more calling the first stage a “Do-Hickey” or the second stage a “Breathy-Thingy”, because Equipment Specialist informs divers about dive equipment, inside and out.  Learn how and why divers can do what they do…SCUBA.

 

Be just like James Bond and where a tuxedo underwater, or more practical a warm and comfortable sweat suit.  The point is divers stay dry and warm with a dry suit, allowing longer dives, and shorter surface intervals that are usually affected by temp

 

Diving requires planning, preparation, organization, and multiple tactics for entering and exiting the water.  The Instructors at American Pro Diving Center can sharpen boat diving to avoid potential problems or even accidents that might occur on a dive vessel.

 

Ohhhhh the joys of going with the flow!  Drift Diving allows divers to do just that, drift.  However, coordination is needed, techniques for signaling the boat Captain and safety stop procedures are all aspects of Drift Diving that are not covered in Open Water Class.

 

Become a one man (or woman) submarine with a DPV, also called the Depth Propulsion Vehicle.  With American Pros SEA DOO DPV’s divers control depth, direction and speed, with much more agility than fins offer.
