Advanced Open Water Scuba is for already certified divers!

This SCUBA Camp is a one-week daytime program that provides classroom, pool and Advanced Open Water, EFR and Specialty instruction for  divers who already have a Jr. Open Water and Open Water Diver Certification. All sessions are held at our class and pool in Malibu and open water dives are conducted at Catalina Island, Anacapa Island and one of our local Malibu beaches.  (If you don't have a week to devote, do it in 2 weekends with our regular course or even less with eLearning!!) We're able to accommodate just about any schedule, ask us how.

Class and Pool Sessions start daily at 9:00 AM and run until 5:00 PM on most days. All classes are taught by certified SCUBA Instructors. (Parents are always welcome and encouraged to join students in the course.)

Advanced Open Water dives are conducted at Catalina Island, Anacapa Island and  one of our local Malibu beaches.  Ranked as one of the top ten diving destinations in the world today, Catalina Island and our local waters in southern California offers you the chance to see a breathtaking underwater environment filled with a boundless array of life.  We take you to see the best that scuba has to offer in southern California.  Enjoy the kelp forest, colorful Garibaldi, moray eel, halibut and other marine life unique to California. The Malibu Divers staff will lead all training dives.  Why go any where else?
