Exploration, Excitement, Experiences. They’re what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about.

The Advanced Open Water Diver course, offered by the MidWest School of Diving (located just north of St. Paul, MN in White Bear Lake) helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.
