About SSI Advanced Open Water Diver (Bali) Course
Think of SSI Advanced Open Water Diver (formerly Advanced Adventurer) like a “try-scuba menu” for adventure-style dives—made for certified divers who want to explore what’s next without committing to one path right away. You’ll do 5 open water training dives, each themed around a different type of diving, so you can experience a variety of conditions, skills, and focuses with an instructor guiding you. It’s the best way to discover what you enjoy most—then later, you can choose the Specialty courses you love, and often credit those training dives toward completing them.
