Island Divers Hawaii
Advanced Adventurer Diver
2 DAY ADVANCED COURSE $549
The Advanced Adventurer course consists of 5 dives. Each dive corresponds to Dive 1 of a Specialty Diver program. While there is flexibility in which dives can be performed to complete the certification course we recommend the following for diving in Hawaii: Wreck, Deep, Tides, and Currents (Drift), Navigation, and Buoyancy. Many choose to add a Nitrox Certification to their Advanced course as one of their specialty dives.
These required five scuba dives can be completed on two charters, (one 2 Tank Charter and a Sunday 3 Tank Charter), at our Hawaii dive shops. However, you can choose 3 two-tank boat charters and space your scuba school lessons out over 3 days (same price).
In the SSI diver progression system, after Advanced Adventurer it is quite easy to earn Specialty certifications. Just complete Dive 2 of the Specialty course you started in the Advanced Adventurer course. After completion of 12 logged dives and two Specialty Courses, you are automatically recognized as a Specialty Diver. Please inquire if you like to take an extra day of diving and complete 2 Specialty courses and expanded on your diving education.
This course is available any two days (or three) that a guest is available to dive and may be the best choice for island visitors.
2 DAY GROUP ADVANCED COURSE $495
This two-day Advanced Course is designed for local divers but anyone may join. It will require your own transportation to be feasible. Club members get $50 off the course ($445). If you are a local and taking this course, you are clearly going to be diving a lot and should really consider joining the dive club to save money over your one year membership.
This scuba diving advanced certification course is generally available on a Saturday and Sunday. The Saturday dives will shores dive where Navigation and Buoyance skills will be completed. This will also serve as an excellent orientation to a local dive site that the diver can come back to again and again on their own! Sunday will be a 3 tank dive from Waianae Small Boat Harbor on the South Seas II. This is the ONLY dive boat on the west side. We will do two wrecks and a shallow dive and complete Deep, Wreck, and Boat diving skills.
The cost of rental gear except Mask Snorkel Fins is included. However, you will need to transport your own equipment, including tanks and weights to the harbor on the west side.
