Introduction
The SDI Advanced Diver Development Program was created to make truly “Advanced Divers.” Unlike the Advaced Adventure (SDI) or Advanced OW (PADI) the Advanced Diver Development program actualy involves completing full specily programs as well as getting independamt diving experiance. The SDI – Advanced Diver Development program requires a new OW student to take four (4) SDI specialties or equivalent, along with having a total of twenty (25) logged dives. SDI feels you will truly be “Advanced” after this is accomplished.
