PADI Open Water Scuba Diver Certification

Option 1 - Open Water PADI SCUBA Certification:

1. Study independently: PADI eLearning makes it easy to fit scuba lessons into a busy schedule. Learn about scuba diving principles and terminology whenever, wherever it's convenient for you. It's your course on your time. Study offline, or online using a computer or mobile device. Connect with your instructor whenever you have a question.

2. Practice using scuba gear in a pool (or pool-like environment) until you're comfortable. PADI training includes practice "mini dives" to help you build confidence in your new abilities before making four dives in open water.

3. Join us for a weekend at an Open Water location for a weekend to complete the open water portion of the class.

4. Become an AWESOME Certified Open Water Scuba Diver! Welcome to the other 71% of the planet!

3. Obtain a referral from your Instructor. A referral allows a diver who has completed portions of the class with us to let another instructor pick up where we left off. If you have a trip coming up you can have an instructor at your vacation destination complete your training. You should be prepared to provide referral documents supplied by the referring Instructor which will include a Referral Form and Medical Statement (physician's clearance if needed). Remember that the student referral is valid for 1 year. The receiving Instructor will have fees, paperwork, and will want to assess your dive skills before progressing. Check ahead and ask us for assistance if needed.

This option costs $399 and includes all training curriculum, log book and use of scuba equipment for your local training (except snorkel, mask and fins).
