You will complete 5 Open Water checkout dives over a 2 day period. You can view these dates and times by clicking HERE and looking for the Advanced Open water Dives on the calendar. These dives are at the Homestead Crater in Midway, Utah.

What you will learn:

You’ll expand your skills as a diver! There are two required dives – Deep and Underwater Navigation – and you choose the other three, for a total of five dives.

The two required dives:

Deep - During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving.

Underwater Navigation – During the Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive will refine your compass navigation skills and help you better navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time.

The other 3 dives. Since, we are limited with the Homestead Crater the 3 other dives we offer are:

Peak-Performance Buoyancy - You will learn how to determine the exact weight you need, so you're not too light or too heavy. To trim your weight system and scuba gear so you're perfectly balanced in the water. By practicing a good trim position in the the water will help you to save energy, use air more efficiently, and move more smoothly through the water. 

​​

Altitude - Learning to adjust your dive plan for the reduced surface pressure at altitude is an important part of the course. You’ll also learn Altitude dive planning, organization, procedures and techniques.

Night - Scuba diving at night teaches you to focus on what you can see in your light’s beam, on controlling your buoyancy by feel, on staying with your buddy and on paying attention to details you may overlook during the day. You will also go over basic light handling and communication techniques.​
