What makes taking your Adventure/Advanced Course with East Coast Scuba & Watersports different than others? We ensures class sizes are kept small so you have more time with the instructor and dive masters.  Depending on day light we try to add a 6th dive at no extra cost to you!  Before our night dive we try to conduct a peak performance buoyancy dive to assist you with being more comfortable in the water. 

Learning and having fun is what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. You don’t have to be “advanced” to take it – it’s designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives. You try out different specialties while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. You log dives and develop capabilities as you find new ways to have fun scuba diving.
