So, you’ve just wrapped up three days of underwater bliss during your holiday on Koh Tao, soaking in the art of scuba diving. But guess what? The powers that be are nudging you towards the SSI Advanced Course. What’s the deal with taking it to the next level, you ask? Well, my friend, channel your inner adventurer and become an Advanced Diver because, trust me, it’s a game-changer.
Now, let me give you the lowdown on why you should be itching to sign up for that Advanced Open Water Course.
1. Plummet to 30 meters like a pro:
Sure, becoming an Open Water Diver is cool, but that certification only grants you access to depths of 18 meters. What about those breathtaking, deeper dive sites around the globe that beckon you? Enter the Advanced Open Water certification, where you’ll plunge to 30 meters.
During this immersive course, you’ll get cozy with the effects of increased depth on your body. Picture this: playing mind games on the ocean floor at 30 meters to grasp how your thought patterns alter. It’s not just a deep dive; it’s a mental workout, preparing you to anticipate and handle the oddities that come with exploring greater depths. Think dive planning and surface intervals suddenly make sense, huh?
2. Hone your skills and swagger underwater:
Two days, five dives – that’s the Advanced Open Water Course for you. Forget the rookie moves; it’s time to finesse your underwater prowess. While the Open Water Course gets you accustomed to the underwater vibe, the Advanced edition takes it up a notch.
Say adieu to mere mask clearing and regulator retrieval – we’re talking air consumption, underwater body positioning (‘trim’ for the initiated), buoyancy mastery, and even a lesson or two in the art of back finning. You’ll emerge from those depths a scuba virtuoso – skilled and oozing confidence.
3. Master the underwater compass dance:
In the watery realm, knowing your way around is as essential as oxygen itself. Whether you’re beach-bum diving or sailing the seas, having a designated ‘spot’ to return to is key. The Advanced Open Water Course throws in some underwater navigation skills, teaching you the art of compass-guided travel.
You’ll be navigating like a pro, not just relying on the compass, but also picking up nifty techniques to confidently explore dive sites. Spotting underwater landmarks becomes second nature, paving the way for you to evolve into an exceptional natural navigator.
4. Embrace the darkness – Night Diving awaits:
Yep, you read it right. Night diving isn’t reserved for the faint of heart. Completing a night dive during your Advanced Open Water Course certifies you as a nocturnal diver. Now, why on Earth would anyone plunge into the depths when the sun bids adieu?
Oh, my friends, you’re in for a treat. Witness the ocean’s nocturnal ballet – the big fish emerge from the shadows, engaging in a culinary feast under the moonlight. At White Rock dive site, our go-to for Advanced course night dives, colossal barracudas and groupers put on a show, munching on smaller fish right before your eyes. It’s a spectacle that will redefine your perception of the underwater world.
So, are we getting through to you? The Advanced Open Water Course is where it’s at. Dive into the deep, finesse your skills, master navigation, and embrace the night. We’re ready when you are!
