Advanced Scuba Diver
The NAUI ADVANCED SCUBA DIVER course is a continuing education certification course for certified divers. It is an enjoyable program of continued supervised experience designed to introduce divers to a variety of diving activities and to be taught entirely in an open water setting. You will be able to do more, to dive in areas other than those associated with entry-level training, and you will have fun as you are becoming a better diver.
