Our threshold to offshore diving is greater than 8 miles from St Andrew's Pass. These sites require advanced certification. A Nitrox certificate would also be an option due to the depths and open water. These trips aren't available every day because of the distances involved. It's best to check with your dive shop to find out when the next trip is scheduled. If you plan to go with friends who are well qualified, they may be able to schedule one for you.
