Advanced Scuba Training overview
What really makes a person advanced at something? Is it just education? Is it just experience? Most people agree it is a combination of both. That combination is what makes the SSI Advanced Open Water Diver certification so prestigious.
Unlike that other certification that only requires an Open Water diver to do five more dives to be certified advanced, the SSI program is built around both education and experience.
To receive Advanced Open Water Diver certification, an Open Water Diver has to complete 4 Advanced Specialties and log 24 dives. Since most Advanced Specialties have two dives associated with them, and 4 dives are required for Open Water Diver certification, the divers has 12 logged dives after they complete their education. As the diver goes on dives they log their dives until they meet the required 24 dives.
The great thing about the program is that you can do it in any order. Go on a dive trip and log some dives. Take a specialty course and get certified in that area. Once you complete your Open Water Diver certification, you start working on your Advanced Open Water Diver certification by just going on a dive and logging it. A very flexible system…
As you work your way towards Advanced certification, you receive recognition and the midpoint with Specialty Diver certification. This certification is awarded when you complete 2 specialties and log 12 dives.
