Ready to take the next step in your diving?

Our Advanced Diver Certification is designed for certified divers who want to build confidence, sharpen skills, and get more out of local and travel diving - all while having fun in the water.

The program is flexible, letting you complete five different adventure dives at your own pace, with multiple dates available throughout the season.

Here's what the five dives cover:
🧭 Navigation Diving - advanced compass work and reading the natural bottom contour. One of the most practical underwater skills you'll ever develop.
🗺️ Exploration & Underwater Mapping - learn to survey and map an area as a team. Surprisingly fun.
🌙 Night Diving - the underwater world after dark is a completely different experience. You'll learn how to plan entry/exit points and dive safely after sunset.
⛵ Small Boat Diving - get out on the water right here in Western New York and earn your credit while diving local.
🔵 Deep Diving - we're taking this one to Bonaire (August '26) or Key Largo (May '27).

The Online Academic Kit ($239.95) needs to be started before your open water dives - you can grab it in store or online. Gear can be rented if needed.

Ask us about the "DIVE" package price when you register - it can save you money.

Registration closes 72 hours before each dive session (1 week for boat dives).

If you haven't gotten your Nitrox certification yet, here's the thing: it's easier than you think, and it's worth doing before your next dive trip.

Nitrox (enriched air) gives you a breathing mix that can extend your bottom time and reduce your surface intervals. It's available at most tropical destinations and right here at DIPNDIVE for local dives.

Here's how the course works now: you pick up a home study kit, do all the classroom material on your own time, then come into the store for about 10 minutes to finish up and order your certification card. That's genuinely it.

Stop in to grab your Nitrox kit, or call us at (716) 837-3483 with questions.

If you're an Advanced Diver who's ready to push further, this is the course - the NAUI Master Scuba Diver, the highest non-teaching recreational certification in the NAUI program.

The course consists of five modules:

1. The Responsible Diver (must be completed first)
Classroom: diving physics, physiology, emergency procedures, and dive planning. Open water at Windmill Quarry - skills evaluation, skin and scuba dives.

2. Diving Environment & Diving Equipment
Gear deep-dive: cylinders, regulators, BCDs, computers, dive lights - plus what our service techs actually do during a service. Open water is a Niagara River Drift Dive including navigation, underwater mapping, and a night dive.

3. Shipwreck Diving
Research, legal considerations, hazards, and preservation. Two dives on a local wreck -including recording measurements to help identify it.

4. UW Navigation / Search & Recovery
