Advanced Adventurer
Hawaiian Diving Adventures
The best way to get better at scuba diving is to go scuba diving!
Become an Advanced Adventurer, because the best way to expand your scuba diving knowledge is to take specialty dive courses! Hawaiian Diving Adventures offer over two dozen Diver Specialty Courses, covering everything from Boat Diving, Deep Diving, and Wreck Diving, to Underwater Photo and Video, and so much more!
SSI’s Advanced Adventurer certification program is the perfect way to sample five of these exciting dive specialty courses. At the same time, you also gain a nice mix of scuba diving knowledge and experience. This is setup to be the next step in your diver education, soon after taking the Open Water Diver course. The Advanced Adventurer is also a great opportunity to learn what dive specialty programs interest you the most!
Courses must be booked over the phone: call now at 808-232-3193.
How It Works
Advanced Adventurer is all about the diving! There is NO classroom or pool time: it is all done in the ocean. Over three days, we dive in the ocean six times while doing different activities, in a variety of conditions and depths. Specifically, we design the deeper dives to push your comfort zone, all under the supervision and guidance of an instructor. You must complete the online e-Learning component before the first day of diving.
Choose five dives from any of the following specialties for your Advanced Adventurer training program:
- Advanced Wreck Diving
- Boat Diving
- Deep Diving
- Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx)
- Navigation
- Night & Limited Visibility
- Perfect Buoyancy
- Photo & Video
- Search & Recovery
- Waves, Tides & Currents
- Wreck Diving
A bonus sixth dive is included with this course because most of our dive trips are two-tank dive trips.
You will earn the SSI Advanced Adventurer certification after completing this program.
Timeline
- Dive Day One
-
- shallower reef dives
- usually on our 11:00 am charters
- Dive Days Two & Three
- deeper wreck dives
- departing 7:30 am
These days do not need to be consecutive, so if you have other activities planned, we can work around that.

What to Bring
- Having your own gear is great, but not necessary: we include all of the rental gear in the price!
- You can bring a towel, sunglasses & maybe a hat for the boat trips (we have a dry storage area).
- Bring your underwater camera & its waterproof casing to get the best shots!
- We provide drinking water, fresh pineapple & snacks, but you can also bring your own.
Special Considerations
- The minimum age is 10 years old.
- To dive, you must have basic swimming skills and overall physical fitness.
- You must complete a medical questionnaire, and may need a doctor’s approval if you have any disqualifying conditions.
- If you have questions, please contact Hawaiian Diving Adventures to discuss your particular circumstances before registration.
- When scheduling your training dives, you must allow at least 18 hours after diving before flying. This is important — you cannot fly the same day after scuba diving.

Advanced Adventurer Certification
Upon completion of all academic and in-water requirements (like a basic swimming evaluation), and the final exam, your instructor issues the Advanced Adventurer certification card.
Certified Advanced Adventurers can dive with an equally- or more-qualified buddy in environments equivalent to their training, and within the recommended depth limits.
Students younger than 15 years old will be certified as a Junior Advanced Adventurer. They must dive under the direct supervision of a dive professional or with a certified adult, in environments equivalent to their training, and within the recommended depth limits.
6 Dives – $600
* Gratuity for the captain and crew is voluntary, but if you have a great time on your dives, it is customary to tip 10-20%.
