Hey Minh! Actually in most ways the advanced certification is a lot easier than the open water. There’s almost zero time in the classroom and the in water skills are fun — no mask removals that I recall 🙂 However becoming a stronger swimmer will only ever help you — I strongly recommend investing some time in that if it’s something you struggle with!

Was the advance cert more difficult than the initial open water cert? What types of skills were required to complete underwater? For open water I had some difficulty with the water treading test and also the mask removal under water.

Whoops guess I should have clarified… PADI is the Professional Association of Dive Instructors, aka the world’s largest recreational diving membership and diver training organization, aka The Godfather
