Advanced Open Water Diver
If you are either an Open Water Certified Dive or an Advanced Open Water Diver, you can increase your Diving skills by opting for a Specialty course while on any Planet Scuba escorted dive trip.
Here in Colorado EVERY dive is an ALTITUDE DIVE. So, we recommend integrating the Altitude Diver Specialty into your Advanced Open Water Adventure dives. The cost is only an additional $100 and one extra dive. This will not add any days to your Advanced Open Water certification in open water (it will still be completed in two days).
Please ask for the Altitude Diver specialty to be included in your Advanced Open Water certification package!
