The PADI Open Water Diver Course is the most recognized certification in the world, opening all of the oceans for exploration and adventure. The course provides new divers with the knowledge and training to safely explore our exciting undersea world. It is a performance based curriculum, enabling students to progress at their own speed. The course includes three elements, classroom, pool and open water instruction. State of the art teaching techniques and tools are included in the curriculum in order to ensure the content is up to date and exciting.

The Blue Horizons PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course provides a more in-depth look at all aspects of diving and an introduction to a variety of specialty diving activities. Upon completion you will be a more confident and comfortable diver, ready for varied diving environments both locally and abroad. We recommend taking this course immediately following, or shortly after, completing your open water training dives.

Course Outline
The course includes a classroom orientation and open water instruction by one of Blue Horizons’ Master Scuba Diver Trainers. The open water sessions, comprised of five dives, may be conducted locally at Dutch Springs, or on our New Jersey dive charters for a taste of salt water and local adventure. Many divers take the opportunity to incorporate advanced training into one of our escorted dive trips.
