Obtain a higher license
Whether or not you have an Advanced Open Water license is very important for enjoying fun dives.
This is because in most overseas spots, the criterion for dividing groups is whether you are a beginner or Advanced Open Water certified or above.
Depending on the dive site, there are many points of interest at depths that Open Water divers cannot reach.
Even if you have sufficient skills, you might not be able to enjoy diving with a beginner group.
Furthermore, by receiving training in an Advanced Open Water course, you can enjoy diving with greater peace of mind.
Advance courses are all entered from the boat.
The Advanced Open Water Diver course includes two mandatory dives (Deep Dive & Underwater Navigator) and three elective dives.
The mandatory dives are the Deep Dive, which takes you to depths of 18m or more, and Underwater Navigation, where you learn techniques to navigate to a destination using a compass and measure distances by fin kicks.
For the elective dives, you choose three from Boat, Drift, Naturalist, Peak Performance Buoyancy, and Fish Identification.
Let's enjoy the afternoon of the second day as well!
Since the course finishes by noon on the second day, you can also enjoy some fun diving in the afternoon!
Make the most of Cebu's beautiful waters and do some extra diving.
Additional Fun Dive (1 boat dive): $30
