About

Here in Key Largo or at any dive resort / destination, you will be limited on which dives / dives sites you can participate in. In many cases, the lowest certified diver controls where the boat goes and where you can dive.

This course can be taken after completing the NAUI SCUBA Diver certification. It’s titled NAUI Advanced SCUBA Diver because it advances your diving knowledge & skills.

Enroll in a NAUI Advanced Diver Course to explore new dive sites and undertake exclusive activities under the supervision of a NAUI Instructor. This course allows individuals to learn about specialties and diving activities of particular interest. Your confidence and skill as a diver will increase while you experience the excitement of learning more about the underwater world.

During training, students complete a minimum of six open-water dives, including three separate dives for navigation, night or low visibility diving, and deep diving (130 feet/40 meters of maximum depth), plus three additional dives based on your individual preferences and available options.

Training is conducted over two days, usually with four dives on one day and two dives on the second day. Please don’t plan any other committed activities during your training dates in Key Largo. Our training hours are fluid and often change over the two days depending on dive boat destinations and logistics.
