Advanced Package
Everything in your Advanced course.
All five. Chosen for Florida diving.
Your Advanced Open Water course is built around five adventure dives, all five chosen specifically for Florida boat and spring diving. Every dive teaches a skill you'll use on every trip and was selected because it makes you a better, safer diver in Florida's specific conditions — springs, boat charters, and coastal reefs.
DSMB — Delayed Surface Marker Buoy
Deploy a surface marker from depth so the boat crew always knows where you are when you surface. Essential for Florida boat diving safety.
Underwater Navigation
Compass skills, natural reference points, and pattern swimming so you can navigate dive sites confidently
Boat Diver
Entries, exits, surface procedures, and charter etiquette for safe and confident boat diving in Florida.
Drift Diver
Learn to move with current in a calm, streamlined way, ideal for Florida springs and coastal reef conditions.
Deep Diver — to 100ft / 30m
Learn depth management, nitrogen narcosis awareness, and gas planning while unlocking deeper Florida sites.
EFR first aid and CPR
Complete Emergency First Response training with CPR, AED, and care skills that help in and out of diving.

Student Stories
What Advanced divers say
"The deep dive at Ginnie Springs was unlike anything I expected. Descending in crystal-clear water with my instructor right there, I was completely hooked."
Orlando, FL · PADI Advanced Diver
"The DSMB dive changed how I think about boat diving. I never realized how important it was until I learned to do it properly."
Winter Park, FL · Advanced Diver
"The drift dive at Ichetucknee was the highlight for me. Once you stop fighting the current and just go with it, it becomes effortless."
