Then the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation and the Los Angeles County Underwater Instrctors
Association invite you to participate in the premier Advanced SCUBA Diver Education Program, the Advanced Diver
Program (ADP). Over 100 hours of instruction!
ADP is the oldest and still the best opportunity to improve your SCUBA diving skills.
The ADP course is taught by the Los Angeles County Underwater Instructors Association, the forefather of NAUI and
PADI, just to name a few of the national SCUBA certification agencies. The past guest lecturers reads like a who's who
of SCUBA diving covering topics such as oceanography, marine life identification, decompression theory and photography.
Other lecture topics have included women in diving, gear maintenance, introduction to commercial diving, technical diving,
wreck diving, spear fishing, deep diving, ecology & conservation of marine resources, beach & boat diving, search
and recovery, navigation, medical aspects of diving, physics of diving, buoyancy, dive site planning, and survey

The course structure will be to bring the student diver up to the competent open water level then immediately into
rescue techniques for self and others. The course will quickly move into advanced and master diver level topics.
Additional certifications earned during this course can include NAUI SCUBA Rescue Diver, NAUI Master Diver, and NAUI
Nitrox Diver.
