 Advanced Open Water Diver

Cost: $200

Y-kiki Divers offers both the PADI Adventure Diver and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certifications.

If you complete any three adventure dives, you can earn your PADI Adventure Diver certification.

 Emergency OxygenProvider

Cost: $75

Be the one ready to help a fellow diver should the need arise by becoming a PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider. The PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Specialty course is an entry-level emergency oxygen course that also teaches you how to recognize dive illnesses treatable by emergency oxygen. Though suited for divers, this course has no prerequisites and doesn’t include dives, which means it is equally applicable to those who are around divers – boat crew, nondiving buddies, lifeguards, and shore staff. You don’t need any previous CPR or first aid training to take the course.

This Specialty course also counts toward one of the five Specialties required for your Master Scuba Diver certification.

Prerequisites:
• No dive certification required
• Recommended minimum age is 12 years old

Materials:
• Emergency Oxygen Provider manual (included in cost of class)
