Set against the clear, sheltered waters of Jervis Bay, the Advanced Open Water Course with Jervis Bay Sea Sports is built to extend the capabilities you learned in the Open Water program: deeper dives, longer bottom time and a wider suite of practical tools and specialty experiences designed to make you a more confident, competent diver.
Highlights

Five dives across two days—boat-first in beautiful Jervis Bay
The course is structured as five dives over two consecutive days, with a minimum of three dives launched from boats in Jervis Bay and the remaining two possible from shore depending on conditions, giving focused time on navigation, deeper profiles and adventure specialties.
Practical safety and specialty skills to build real-world confidence
The program emphasizes tools and techniques an advanced diver should use—compass navigation, delayed surface marker buoys (DSMBs), reels, torches and knife work—plus optional specialty experiences like full face masks, naturalist sessions and search-and-recovery.
Value and ongoing access
Beyond instruction, completion comes with a $100 credit toward your next course or dive and an automatic 12‑month membership in the Husky Diver Club, encouraging continued learning and local access.
