SSI ADVANCED ADVENTURER
 Directly after the Open Water course Advanced Adventurer is the entry to continuing education, especially for those divers who cannot decide which specialty courses they want to learn. During the Advanced Adventurer Program you will have the chance to try out 5 different specialties. You will complete one open water training dive per specialty in order to get a better understanding for each specialty area.
Later, you can choose to complete all or just a few of your selected speciaties through a Specialty Course by completing the second dive and finishing all academic requirements. Choose your preferred Specialty Areas and continue your adventure right after your Open Water Diver Program!
Continue your adventure! Ask your SSI Facility for your personal Continuing Education options. Why wait?
Options:
Nitrox Specialty (Enriched Air):
Pass your Enriched Air specialty with your Advanced course and save $84. For only $75, we offer you this great specialty. For more information about this specialty, go to the Nitrox Specialty page. The dive around the Halliburton wreck is ideal for this option. Diving on Nitrox will give you a longer bottom time, so more time to admire this magnificent shipwreck.
Photography:
Exchange your adventure Naturalist dive for an adventure Underwater Digital Photography dive or simply take one of our underwater cameras along to capture the experience for just $20. Limited special offer! This price includes the digital camera rental and a CD of your photos, including a selection of professional underwater photos from Utila Water Sports’ personal collection.

Adventure Peak Performance Buoyancy dive
Buoyancy is the most difficult skill to master. It is also the most important diving skill and gives you more control in the water, helping you to relax and improving your air consumption. During this dive, you will improve your buoyancy control whilst having fun.

Adventure Naturalist dive
Learn about the underwater world: names of fish, coral, invertebrates, algae and the behavior of underwater creatures. After this dive, the reef will never look the same again. During the dive, your instructor will point out interesting features, such as fish farms, cleaning stations and coral chemical wars.
Adventure Navigation dive
Underwater Navigation is not an exact science, however during this dive we will show you the tricks of the trade. Using natural references and underwater compass techniques, you will learn some of the essentials for becoming an independent diver.
Adventure Night dive
Discover the underwater world by night, an exhilarating experience you will never forget! Everything is different: You'll see more color, as well as a multitude of different creatures, including octopus, blood worms, shrimp, squid, open coral and, of course, the stunning bioluminescence.
