You will learn to Scuba Dive and earn your PADI Open Water Certification in three easy steps:
Step One - Academics
If you complete your PADI Open Water Course using eLearning, you will complete this portion on your own time. If you choose the traditional classroom instruction, you will review all academic material over two classroom sessions with our patient PADI Instructors.
During this portion of your training you will become familiar with basic diving principles and procedures.
Step Two - Confined Water (Pool) Dives
In this step, you will complete five confined water (pool) dives in our on-site heated swimming pool over a minimum of two days. During these confined water dives, you will develop the scuba skills necessary to dive safely.
Since we progress at your pace, not ours, we occasionally add extra pool sessions to ensure you are comfortable and mastering the skills.
Step Three - Open Water Dives
Your Open Water Dives will be the last step in learning to scuba dive. You will complete four Open Water Dives over two days. During these dives, you will show off your new skills as a scuba diver to your Instructor as you explore one of our local dive sites.
Once these dives are completed, you will be a certified PADI Open Water Diver. Your PADI Open Water Certification is recognized worldwide, so your diving experiences will be limitless.
