This comprehensive certification program provides education on all essential aspects of scuba diving, including dive planning, equipment usage, dive skills, and the underwater environment. Classroom and in-water sessions are covered in this part of the course. After you have completed this portion of the training you just need to sign up for the Open Water Dives either with us or with a dive center of your choice. After completing those dive individuals receive an Open Water Scuba Diver certification which enables them to dive worldwide with a partner, at a maximum depth of 60 feet. 

Your first Scuba logbook and the rental of your life support equipment is included in the price. However, you must provide your own Scuba appropriate mask, snorkel, fins, and boots. We offer discounts and equipment benefits to students who purchase personal gear with us. Please be sure to stop by the dive shop prior to your class date to shop for your personal equipment. 

The only people permitted to participate in the class are students enrolled in the class.
