Its a hands-on course with just 2 compulsory dives: Deep dive (learn how to dive SAFELY to 30m) and Navigation (learn to use the compass effectively).

Then choose 3 dives from a list of specialties including:

- Underwater Naturalist......- U/W Photography
- Wreck Diving..................- Night Diving(recommended)
- Search & Rescue............

Imagine doing the deep dives in Sipadan** in 600m deep walls or in Hin Daeng with the mantas. Or better still - in Layang-Layang every March with HUNDREDS of hammerheads!!

We include the Peak Performance Buoyancy specialty for FREE (complimentary pool session in KL), because we believe every diver should have good buoyancy, and not have to waste their Advanced Course practising it.

You just pay:
1) RM350 on top of any trip on our roster
2)Bring your own camera if you want to take the U/W Photography specialty, too! The course includes original PADI books on loan, small classes of not more than 4 per instructor & the PADI Advanced Diver certification valid worldwide!

learn about animal behaviour, how to spot tiny tiny TINY things like this 5mm wide nudibranch and or the leopardsharks in thailand...

"Improve your buoyancy, learn the proper amount of weights to carry, proper breathing techniques to increase bottom time & spot creatures - all within 2 dives! Well that's what I did. Best part - a holiday was actually included in the dive package! Finally, a dive instructor that KNOWS his stuff!

Tonsai Bay is truly one of the best places to "lose yourself". Beautiful limestone formations, emerald waters, Whale & Leopard Sharks. You've got to be there to believe it! Plenty of stuff and critters to find! If you look hard enough, octopus readily live in nooks and crannies. Expect the usual suspects that live in the tropical waters. As for the skinny brown dude, I'll dive with him any day. Hoo Yah!"

"Reeza was our Mother Hen - repairing cameras, organising our dives and making sure we saw the best that Sipadan and Mabul had to offer. By our last night on Sipadan, everyone wanted to be part of our small, exclusive group - "Reeza's Babes"!!. Started as strangers, and left as friends.. Thanks Skinny Brown One!"

"The best part was breathing underwater. I didn't feel afraid because the water wasn't deep and everyone was around. At first I wasn't comfortable but my teacher (Reeza) let me try it out again and again until it was all right. I don't swim very well and this is the first time I have worn a proper swimsuit but it was fun!"
