Yes, you can. Even if some training agencies suggest to get Advanced Open Water diver level to dive below 60 feet/18 meters, it is not a requirement within the diving community. Remember many old divers with dozens of diving years on their backs have just their original, old and beloved Open Water Diver certification. We accept certified Open Water divers on our trips as long as they agree and feel comfortable with the dive plan.
