Two of the 5 dives are prescribed \u2013 Deep Dive so you can check yourself for susceptibility to nitrogen narcosis and Underwater Navigator so you don\u2019t get lost! We always recommend Underwater Naturalist and Fish ID as two of the electives as those help you see more during your dives and understand more of what you see. Peak Power Buoyancy is another good one to improve your diving skills and reduce air consumption.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd62618 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"dd62618\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9af4076 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9af4076\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2490b7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2490b7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/advanced-open-water-Edited.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2801\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/advanced-open-water-Edited.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/advanced-open-water-Edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/advanced-open-water-Edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/advanced-open-water-Edited-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/advanced-open-water-Edited-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/advanced-open-water-Edited-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/advanced-open-water-Edited-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4de515e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4de515e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf7155e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cf7155e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/adv-open-water.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2845\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/adv-open-water.jpg 843w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/adv-open-water-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/adv-open-water-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/adv-open-water-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/adv-open-water-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/adv-open-water-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.avbelize.com\/splash\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/adv-open-water-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a84971a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a84971a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Other options include Search &amp; Rescue, Wreck Diver, Underwater Videographer, Enriched Air Nitrox and Dive Against Debris.<\/p><p>We work with a maximum of 2 divers per instructor to ensure both the quality and safety of the training.<\/p><p>This certification allows you to dive anywhere in the world to a maximum depth of 30 meters\/100 feet without professional supervision (where local laws allow).
