Do you know we offer surf lessons too?
Every Sunday we offer an introductory surf lesson for free. We also have two hour private surf lessons for $100 Group rates are available, just ask! 

 

  Classes:  ADVANCED OPEN WATER

  Prerequisites
 PADI Open Water diver certification or an acceptable equivalent
 
  Class Description

After you've earned your PADI Open Water diver certification or the acceptable equivalent, you're ready for the Advanced Open Water Course.   The Advanced class provides an excellent opportunity to expand your diving skills under professional, experienced supervision.   At South Beach Diver and Surf, we offer over 45 years of combined diving experience to make your Advanced class a real learning adventure.

The class features two core dives: Deep Dive & Navigation Dive.   In addition, you must complete three elective dives.   We like to have those three elective dives consist of 1) Wreck diving, 2) Underwater Naturalist and 3) a Night dive.  
All the dives you do in this class counts towards the correlating specialty class.

Miami is considered to be the "Wreckreational" Dive Capital of the World.   There are over 75 wrecks in the Miami area that comprises the largest artificial reef system in the world.   So, we feel that a concentration on wreck diving is paramount.

Miami also enjoys close proximity to the Florida Keys, particularly John Pennekamp Underwater State Park.   We should all take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy such a wide variety of underwater life.   How can we appreciate what we see if we don't know what to look for or how to identify it when we see it?   For this reason, we like to incorporate the Underwater naturalist elective dive into the Advanced class.

After certification, you may come dive with us on weekly Advanced dives and take advantage of South Beach Divers' dive club.   Our club organizes exclusive trips all over Florida, and the rest of world!   Most members are Advanced certified or better and remain very active in local diving.
 

  Upcoming Classes
 This class can be started on any Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. We start with the Navigation and Underwater Naturalist dives as they are shallow and are a great way to get you re acclimated to diving. The remaining three dives can be done most days following the first two dives and they will be a deep dive, a wreck dive and either a night dive, peak performance buoyancy dive or the boat elective dive. All dives are from our boats. We have the most flexible schedules available.
