Advanced Scuba Certification

Advanced Scuba Certification

Gain more experience and confidence diving Monterey – Choose the Advanced Scuba Certification!

Go where no cube mate has gone before

 

The Advanced scuba certification course involves five ocean dives during one weekend in Monterey. Three beach dives are conducted on Saturday. The first is a non intensive dive such as PPB or Fish Identification so that divers can re-acclimate to the challenges Monterey diving offers.

Navigation follows and then after a break the night dive. Sunday is all down hill as divers complete the PADI adventure deep dive and one more specialty from a dive boat or from the beach. The Advanced scuba certification course schedules may vary and some specific equipment is needed.

Some cold water diving experience is recommended before taking this diving class. If you have never been diving in cold water, worn a hood, gloves and the 7mm suits needed – instead try booking one of our guided beach dives first: Guided Dives >

About Cold Water Diving

  • More difficult than warm water?

Instructor’s Advice

Exchange your gear during your training at Scuba Fusion. This ensures that your mask or fins fit before attempting ocean dives. You just cannot know if a mask is going to fit you until your in the water. Buy from the store you are taking lessons with!

Will

Instructor’s Advice

Flippers or fins?  We use diving fins. Flipper is the name of a famous dolphin from the movies.

Flipper

Instructor’s Advice

Should I borrow a mask and fins?  Please don’t.  Showing up with poorly fitted borrowed gear that pre-dates the Mesozoic era is dangerous and and can be uncomfortable. Innovations have been made that increase diver safety as well as comfort. Leave the old gear at home.

Instructor’s Advice Boat

Buy your own BCD bouyancy jacket!  You will master buoyancy faster and dive more often.

Monterey is a popular dive spot where many divers partake in certification classes. The Bay is well protected from ocean waves, making it possible to dive almost every day
