The Advanced Diver Development Program was developed to make truly "Advanced Divers". Under the old way of training, a student could take an Advanced Diver Program right after their open water course. By the end of the program they would only have nine dives under their belt. The SDI Advanced Diver Development Program requires a new O/W Student to take four (4) SDI specialties, along with having a total of twenty (29) logged dives. SDI feels a diver will truly be "Advanced" after this is completed.
